根据首次与 Semafor 共享的数据，本轮选举周期已有超过 130 名民主党候选人投放反科技广告，民主党正利用公众对 AI 的日益不满以及白宫的轻触式监管态度。
More than 130 Democratic candidates have run anti-tech ads this cycle, according to data shared first with Semafor, as the party capitalizes on growing public resentment against AI and the White House’s light-touch approach.
科技公司纷纷招募民主党人以应对权力平衡的转变，这可能预示着监管格局的巨变：硅谷相关团体在俄亥俄州的一场竞选中斥资数千万美元对抗一名反对数据中心的民主党候选人，连亚洲科技供应商都在密切关注。
Tech firms have rushed to staff up with Democrats in preparation for the shifting balance of power, which could portend a regulatory sea change: Silicon Valley-aligned groups have spent tens of millions of dollars against a Democrat opposed to data centers in an Ohio race that even Asian tech suppliers are closely watching.
与此同时，OpenAI 近期聘用了总统的前陆军部长，Semafor 的 Ashley Gold 写道：“这很好地提醒了我们，[唐纳德·] 特朗普还将担任总统两年——在 AI 领域，那是漫长的永恒。”
Meanwhile, OpenAI recently hired the president’s former Army secretary, “a good reminder that [Donald] Trump remains president for another two years,” Semafor’s Ashley Gold wrote: “An eternity in AI time.”
