民主党在周二选举中的惊人胜利，至少部分归因于他们利用了选民对 AI 和科技日益增长的焦虑。不过，立法者将如何运用新获得的政治权力来回应这些焦虑，仍有待观察。
Democrats’ stunning victories in Tuesday’s election can at least partly be attributed to the fact that they capitalized on growing voter anxiety about AI and tech. What exactly lawmakers do with their newfound political power to address those anxieties remains to be seen, though.
他们最大的优先事项之一很可能是加强对数据中心的监管，因为选民以压倒性优势支持那些主张暂停建设数据中心的州级和联邦候选人。但数据中心暂停建设并非选票上唯一的 AI 议题：AI 安全也成为密歇根州民主党人阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛义德等知名候选人的核心竞选论点，他在周二晚间当选参议员。
One of their biggest priorities is likely to be more regulation of data centers, since voters overwhelmingly backed state and federal candidates who supported moratoriums on their construction. But data center pauses were not the only AI issue on the ballot: AI safety also became a central talking point for prominent candidates like Michigan Democrat Abdul El-Sayed, who was elected to the Senate on Tuesday night.
