"More than 60 percent of both Republicans and Democrats polled by Ipsos earlier this year agree that the government should regulate AI for economic stability and public safety, and that the technology's development should slow down."
"When you just ask folks, 'what's on your mind?' AI and data centers aren't rising to the top of the list - at least not yet."
"There's a certain amount of oxygen for the top issues that Americans have on their mind, and we are living in a very active moment."
"The amount of available space or potential for another issue to break through, it has to be a pretty acute or powerful concern. And we're just not seeing that at the national level with AI yet."
Concerns about AI are prevalent among Americans, with many opposing data center projects. Despite over 60% of both parties supporting AI regulation, it is not a primary campaign issue. Voters prioritize broader topics like the economy and immigration. Experts note that for AI to gain attention, it must become a more acute concern. There are no clear partisan divides regarding AI, as many politicians are not publicly opposing or supporting it.
