Foreign media reports that public concern in the United States regarding AI is on the rise, with data center expansion and the effectiveness of product implementation becoming the main points of contention.

外媒称,AI 行业原本预期,随着产品普及和技术进步,公众会逐步接受这项技术。但从近期多项民调和企业动向看,美国社会对 AI 的态度并未转暖,反而出现更明显的警惕情绪,这种变化正开始影响企业扩张和商业推进。

多项民调显示担忧上升

Axios 报道称,美国共和党参议院全国委员会已向多家头部 AI 公司发出备忘录,提醒其数据中心项目正在影响俄亥俄州一场关键选举的选情。与此同时,皮尤研究中心最新调查显示,52% 的美国人表示,面对 AI 在日常生活中的使用增加,他们“担忧多于兴奋”,高于 2021 年的 37%。

CNBC 面向 18 至 34 岁人群的调查也显示,在列出的 9 名 AI 行业高管中,多数受访者不信任这些人会在 AI 问题上“负责任地行事”。今年 5 月,《经济学人》与 YouGov 的一项民调则显示,超过 70% 的美国人认为 AI 发展速度过快。

数据中心项目面临地方阻力

这种情绪已不再只是舆论问题。华尔街日报本周报道称,科技公司在美国推进 AI 数据中心建设时,正遭遇更强的地方公关压力。为争取项目落地,一些企业开始追加条件,包括就业保障、清洁水投资以及面向社区的其他配套承诺。

报道提到,在路易斯安那州一个教区,相关方案甚至包括向教师提供 5 万美元奖金。文章认为,这反映出一个更直接的问题:不少消费者尚未感受到 AI 给生活带来的明确改善,却已先承担了能源、土地、公共资源等方面的成本。

行业高管开始承认信任危机

文章称,公众的不满正在从观感问题变成商业问题。对一个已围绕“AI 必然到来”融资数千亿美元的行业来说,如果用户迟迟感受不到实际收益,扩张阻力就会继续上升。

Airbnb 首席执行官 Brian Chesky 近日在播客中表示,AI 遭遇反弹是真实存在的,原因之一是行业还没有推出足够多让“普通人”真正喜欢的产品。他认为,问题不只是叙事方式,还在于企业需要拿出更贴近日常需求的应用。

Anthropic 首席执行官 Dario Amodei 本周也在 X 上表示,公众对 AI 的负面看法是一个“大问题”,本质上属于“信任危机”。他称,人们不信任公司、政府和科技行业,担心新技术最终会损害自身利益。

文章认为,AI 行业当前面临的核心挑战,不只是继续证明模型能力,而是更快拿出能被普通用户明确感知、且值得承担代价的产品与结果。
