大型科技公司為華盛頓政治格局可能轉向民主黨作準備
Big Tech braces for a bluer Washington
大型科技公司正加聘民主黨人，為華盛頓政治格局可能轉向民主黨作準備；本輪選舉週期中，超過 130 名民主黨候選人投放反科技廣告。據首次提供予 Semafor 的數據，民主黨正利用公眾對 AI 及白宮寬鬆監管取態日增的不滿。矽谷相關團體已在俄亥俄州一場選舉中花費數千萬美元，反對一名反對數據中心的民主黨候選人；該場選舉亦受亞洲科技供應商密切關注。
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.
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.
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.”
