距离一场影响重大的中期选举仅剩最后几个月，唐纳德・特朗普在人工智能、数据中心、弗洛克车牌摄像头等一系列颇具争议的科技议题上亮出自己的观点。这套立场，和多名参加本次中期选举的共和党候选人存在冲突。
对于立法者以及 AI 研发人员提出的人工智能发展潜藏风险的担忧，特朗普不以为然，称其是一场 “噱头”，反对出台全面的联邦监管。他在社交媒体发帖表示，如果实施监管，美国人工智能发展会在和中国的竞争中陷入劣势。
密歇根州共和党参议院候选人迈克・罗杰斯则主张建立一套 “国家安全框架”，要 “放缓人工智能发展速度，让政府及其合作方能够跟上技术脚步”。
他的民主党对手阿卜杜勒・埃尔‑赛义德，拿特朗普关于 AI 监管的表态向罗杰斯发起攻击。
埃尔‑赛义德本周在一家地方电视台的论坛节目中表示：“唐纳德・特朗普永远把个人利益置于大众利益之上。而迈克・罗杰斯，凡事都会顺从特朗普的意志，置民众利益于不顾，这才是危险所在。”
罗杰斯尚未公开发声回应埃尔‑赛义德的这番言论。
得克萨斯州共和党参议院候选人、州总检察长肯・帕克斯顿，把自己塑造为大型科技企业监管的倡导者。竞选活动期间，他频频提及自己对各大社交媒体公司发起的诉讼，还呼吁对人工智能机器人与未成年人交互做出限制。
但帕克斯顿并未就大型 AI 企业潜在安全风险发表看法。其竞选团队也没有回应记者提出的关于联邦层面 AI 监管立场的具体问题。
帕克斯顿的民主党对手、州参议员詹姆斯・塔拉里科，在竞选启动时公布自己的 AI 施政主张，重点关注人工智能带来的失业问题，同时呼吁强化 AI 芯片出口管制。
在上个月与商人马克・库班一同出席的公开活动上，塔拉里科提出，美国需要一套完备的联邦层面 AI 约束机制。
民调显示，美国人十分关注人工智能对日常生活带来的影响。马凯特大学本月早些时候一项调查发现，约三分之二成年人认为人工智能对社会弊大于利。
昆尼皮亚克大学 3 月民调显示，74% 的美国人认为政府对人工智能监管力度不足；仅有 13% 受访者觉得政府已经做得足够。
数据中心议题
数据中心是中期选举另一大焦点议题。特朗普将建设数据中心视作经济与国家安全利好，对此持支持态度，这又与部分共和党候选人产生分歧。
罗杰斯提议密歇根州暂停新建数据中心一年。正在俄亥俄州寻求连任的共和党参议员乔恩・休斯特，提出立法方案，要求数据中心承担足额公用事业费用。
特朗普此前社交媒体的一番言论，或将令处境不妙的共和党候选人陷入被动。他上个月发帖称，那些抵制建设数据中心的社区 “只想继续落后和贫穷下去”。
选民对待数据中心的态度已经发生转变。马凯特民调显示，71% 成年人认为建设数据中心弊大于利，而今年 1 月这一比例为 62%。
弗洛克车牌摄像头
颇具争议的自动车牌识别设备，其中应用最广的就是弗洛克摄像头，已经成为中期选举竞选的新矛盾点。
特朗普上个月表示自己 “大体上” 支持这套设备，理由是服务执法工作，但也承认不少民众认为这侵犯个人隐私。该设备支持者认为，摄像头可以降低犯罪率，维护公共安全。
威斯康星州共和党州长候选人汤姆・蒂法尼呼吁暂停州财政资助弗洛克摄像头，直至专门工作小组完成评估。他的民主党对手、密尔沃基县行政长官戴维・克劳利已经下达政令，限制该县警方使用该类摄像头。
宾夕法尼亚州，民主党现任州长乔希・夏皮罗与共和党挑战者斯泰西・加里蒂，双双公开支持禁用这套摄像头。
多起广为人知的滥用案例，改变了公众对执法部门使用该设备的看法。
马凯特民调结果显示，61% 的美国民众认为摄像头严重侵犯隐私权；39% 受访者视其为警方办案的重要工具。
弗洛克公司上个月向美国广播公司新闻发表声明称，企业已经做出调整以保障隐私安全，并欢迎监管介入。
声明写道：“我们支持经过审慎考量的两党立法，建立强有力的隐私保护、信息透明与问责机制，同时保留执法部门合理使用这项技术维护公众安全的能力。”

Trump breaks with many Republican midterm candidates， voters on key tech issues
In the final months before the high-stakes midterm election， President Donald Trump has come out against regulation on controversial tech issues from artificial intelligence to data centers to Flock cameras -- positions that don＇t jibe with several Republican candidates＇ running in this midterm election．
Trump has dismissedconcerns from lawmakers and AI developersabout potential dangers of AI development，calling it a ＂hoax＂and arguing against comprehensive federal regulation． Trump said in social media posts that regulation would put American AI development at a disadvantage to China．
In Michigan， GOP Senate nominee Mike Rogers has called for a ＂national security framework＂ on AI and to ＂slow down development of AI in order to allow the government and its partners to catch up．＂
His opponent Dr． Abdul El-Sayed used the president＇s statements on AI regulation as an attack against Rogers．
＂Donald Trump always puts his own interests over the interests of the rest of us． And Mike Rogers， he＇s going to put whatever Donald Trump wants over you， and that＇s the danger，＂ El-Sayed said in a forum this week with a local news station．
Rogers has not publicly responded to El-Sayed＇s comments．
In Texas， Republican Senate candidate Ken Paxton， the state＇s attorney general， has pitched himself as a champion of big tech regulation． On the campaign trail， Paxton has touted his lawsuits against major social media companies and his calls for restrictions on the ability of AI bots to interact with underage users．
Paxton hasn＇t weighed in onpotential safety risks coming out of major AI companies． His campaign did not respond to specific questions about his stances on federal regulation on AI．
Paxton＇s Democratic opponent， state Sen． James Talarico， unveiled an AI regulatory platform in his campaign launch -- focused largely on advocating against job losses due to AI and on greater export controls on AI chips．
In an appearance alongside businessman Mark Cuban last month， Talarico talked about the need for comprehensive federal guardrails on AI．
Polling shows that Americans are concerned about the role that AI is playing in our lives，a Marquette pollconducted earlier this month found about two-thirds of adults saying AI is a bad thing for society．
A MarchQuinnipiac University pollfound 74% of Americans saying that the government was not doing enough to regulate AI； just 13% said the government was doing enough．
Data centers
Data centers are another key issue ahead of the midterm elections where Trump -- who hasdefended data center constructionas an economic and national security win -- has differed with Republican candidates．
Rogers has called for a one year moratorium on new construction in Michigan． Republican Sen． Jon Husted， running for reelection in Ohio， is sponsoring legislation aimed at making data centers pay for their utility usage．
The president’s own comments could pose difficulty for vulnerable Republican candidates as he continues with incendiary rhetoric， writing in a social media post last month that communities that oppose data centers ＂want to be backwards and poor．＂
Voter sentiment has shifted on the issue of data centers． The Marquette poll found 71% of adults said the costs of building data centers outweigh the benefits， up from 62% in January．
Flock cameras
Controversial automatic license plate readers -- and their most common camera type， Flock -- have become anemerging political flashpoint in midterm races．
Trump said last month that he ＂sort of＂ likes them ＂because of law enforcement，＂ acknowledging that some people ＂think it’s an infringement．＂ Advocates of the camera have argued that the cameras reduce crime and improve public safety．
In Wisconsin， Republican candidate for governor， Tom Tiffany， has called on a moratorium on state funding for flock cameras pending a new task force． His democratic opponent， Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley， has issued an order limiting the use of the cameras by the county．
In Pennsylvania， both Democratic Gov． Josh Shapiro and Republican challenger Stacy Garrity have publicly supported a ban on the cameras．
Highly publicized cases of misuse have swayed public sentiment on the use of the cameras by law enforcement．
The Marquette poll found 61% of Americans said the cameras are unacceptable violations of privacy rights while 39% said they are an important tool for police investigations．
Flock said in a statement to ABC News last month that the company has made changes aimed at ensuring privacy and welcome regulatory efforts．
＂We support thoughtful， bipartisan legislation that puts strong privacy， transparency， and accountability guardrails in place while preserving law enforcement’s ability to use technology responsibly to keep people safe，＂ Flock said in the statement．
