Voters mostly don’t like AI and data centers, but neither party seems to have an edge

NYT/Siena poll of 1,503 likely voters finds 61% oppose AI data center construction, yet the issue ranks below 1% among midterm priorities.

A New York Times/Siena University poll of 1,503 likely voters conducted in early September found 61% oppose constructing data centers to power AI, with only 14% strongly supportive. Opposition drivers include environment/water usage (32%), local community impact (21%), and general distrust of AI (18%); 56% of opponents favor limits while 38% want a total ban. Trump 2024 voters split nearly evenly (49% support vs 45% oppose) while Harris voters opposed at 74%. Despite the sentiment, AI and data centers registered under 1% as a top midterm issue for most demographics, and neither party holds a clear trust advantage (42% Republicans vs 40% Democrats).

Beijing Hits Back at Anthropic CEO’s Call to Curb China’s AI Development

China's Foreign Ministry rejected Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's call to curb Chinese AI development as 'Cold War playbook' fearmongering.

China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs pushed back against Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's essay warning that a Chinese AI lead would endanger the US, with spokesperson Guo Jiakun saying fearmongering and vicious competition disrupt global AI governance. Amodei urged continued restrictions on cutting-edge AI chip sales to China and predicted AI agents could take over the internet within 6-12 months without a global slowdown. The exchange precedes a planned September 24 Trump-Xi meeting covering AI governance, and follows a joint FBI/NSA/CISA advisory alleging Chinese developers distilled capabilities from Claude and GPT.

Trump and Mike Johnson think the AI industry is overreacting

Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson reject AI executives' calls to slow development, warning restrictions could let China win the AI race.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published an open letter urging labs to 'pace the frontier' and slow AI development, drawing public support from OpenAI's Sam Altman, Elon Musk, and Alphabet's Demis Hassabis. Trump told the Financial Times the US leads China in AI and that 'whoever wins AI, wins.' House Speaker Mike Johnson told CNN that rushing AI regulation could itself be a 'national security threat' and urged against panic-driven congressional action.

Self-improving AI should slow down, von der Leyen tells EU lawmakers

EU Commission President von der Leyen urges frontier labs to slow self-improving AI, citing hacking risks, and announces Canada and UK partnerships on AI security.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen used her State of the Union address to call for slowing self-recursive frontier AI, warning that models in development will enable hacking at previously unimagined levels. She announced joint work with Canada and the UK on model evaluation, verification, early warning, and AI security, and proposed widening the CETA trade agreement into an alliance covering AI, quantum technology, and cyber and economic security. She defended the EU AI Act as central to guardrails, promised initiatives for health, transport, agrifood, manufacturing, and defense in November, and backed an EU Kids Act barring social media for children under 13.

Trump may be forced to reveal secret rules feds use for AI safety testing

Protect Democracy sued four federal agencies to force disclosure of the administration's secret framework for frontier AI safety reviews.

Nonprofit Protect Democracy sued four federal agencies, including the Office of the National Cyber Director, OSTP, Treasury and Commerce, seeking disclosure of the secret voluntary framework used for pre-release safety reviews of frontier AI models. The complaint demands the framework text, participant identities and selection criteria by September 30, alleging OpenAI negotiated a private agreement limiting distribution of its cutting-edge models to government-vetted partners. The suit follows the launch of the GOLD EAGLE clearinghouse and the completion of the review framework on August 3, with California Senator Josh Becker supporting the request while the state considers the SB 813 bill for transparent AI safety standards.

UK cyber bill targets AI users, not the vendors building it

UK ministers rejected Lords amendments that would have brought AI vendors into the Cyber Security and Resilience Bill's scope.

Cybersecurity minister Baroness Lloyd of Effra told the Grand Committee that regulating frontier AI developers through the UK Cyber Security and Resilience Bill would not prevent misuse by hostile actors, pointing instead to the AI Security Institute and the voluntary AI Cyber Security Code of Practice, which informed the ETSI EN 304 223 standard. Rejected amendments included requirements for AI vendors to demonstrate red lines such as evading human oversight, and last-resort powers to shut down a datacenter or widely deployed AI system during emergencies. The bill instead extends the NIS 2018 regime to managed service providers, datacenter operators and designated critical suppliers, imposing duties on regulated organizations rather than technology providers.
