民调显示美国民众广泛反对AI及新建数据中心
ABC News、《华盛顿邮报》与益普索对2545名美国成年人开展的调查显示，57%认为AI对社会有害，42%认为有益；但问到个人影响时，50%认为AI对自己有益。调查于2026年10月9日至13日进行，误差约为±2个百分点；此外，66%反对美国新建数据中心，72%反对在本社区建设。CNET引述的政治和民调专家认为，这种反弹可能影响中期选举的关键选区，但这仍是预测。
CNET报道称，在11月3日中期选举前，AI监管和数据中心建设已成为突出的政治议题。专家表示，公众对电费、用水和电网压力的担忧可能影响关键选区，但选举影响尚未得到证实。
As far as public opinion goes, artificial intelligence is not a bed of roses. With the Nov. 3 elections looming nationwide, an issue that was barely a blip a year ago has become a full-blown backlash and a likely spoiler in the midterm elections.
A new poll from ABC News, the Washington Post and Ipsos found that a majority of Americans (57%) believe AI is bad for society, with many more pointing to its dangers than the potential benefits the tech could bring. An even larger number of those polled (66%) are opposed to the construction of new data centers in the US, and more (72%) would be opposed if it were in their community.
