‘Total repudiation’: The blue wave is about to hit AI

The US midterm elections resulted in a blue wave, with Democrats taking control of the House and Senate, and many newly elected officials campaigning against AI companies. This has left AI companies, including OpenAI and Meta, concerned about potential regulation, data center construction slowdowns, and CEOs being called to testify. Some executives are considering moving data center construction abroad due to compute capacity constraints and pressure from investors. The incoming leaders have promised to hold AI companies accountable, with one executive likening the situation to the Nuremberg Trials.
