美国选民投票限制 AI 数据中心建设，科技巨头称系政治反弹
美国多地选举结果显示，支持限制 AI 数据中心的候选人及措施以压倒性优势胜出，44 项相关提案中 38 项通过。尽管已获批项目暂不受影响，但这一趋势预示未来新建算力设施将面临更严格的监管与公众审查压力。科技行业将此归因于反特朗普情绪而非单纯的反技术浪潮。
报道正文
Donald Trump’s big, rapid American AI buildout now faces a major slowdown as voters in yesterday’s elections overwhelmingly supported candidates and measures that favored increasing restrictions on AI and data centers nationwide.
One resource from a polling firm, called Redbud Consulting, tracked data center initiatives on the ballot and reported that out of 44 measures across 10 states seeking to restrict data centers, 38 passed so far. Those measures included dozens of moratoriums and bans. Analysts suggested those won’t impact data centers already under construction or approved through 2027, instead largely impacting future projects planned for 2028. Only one measure passed allowing a data center to proceed. But even that small win represented pushback on the AI industry—requiring data center developers in a North Dakota city to pay for independent reviews and hold public hearings when expanding or proposing projects.
In addition to increasing regulations on data centers, voters also backed anti-AI candidates, electing officials vowing crackdowns in key states building out the most data center capacity in the US.
