[US Democratic Party's AI Regulatory "Offensive" Revealed: Plans for Intensive Legislation and Strict Investigations of Tech Giants] BlockBeats reported on November 6th that the US Democratic Party plans to aggressively push for AI regulatory legislation and expand investigations into large tech companies after taking control of Congress in January. Proposed legislation focuses on limiting the expansion of data centers that could drive up residential electricity prices, requiring independent agencies to test advanced AI models, and clarifying the legal liability of AI companies for damage caused by their products. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer stated that protecting consumers from the impact of rising electricity prices due to data center expansion will be one of next year's priorities. Representative Lori Trahan plans to push for independent expert evaluations of mainstream AI models and clarify corporate responsibility. Regarding oversight, Democratic lawmakers such as Zoe Lofgren have already demanded in October that OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, Alphabet, and SpaceX disclose safety measures and report on AI tools deviating from their designers' intentions. The report also stated that senior Democrats are reviewing a 181-page survey list compiled by the think tank Groundwork Collaborative, involving hundreds of executives and companies in industries such as technology, AI, natural gas, healthcare, private prisons, and nursing homes. Democratic members of the House Judiciary Committee and Oversight Committee have reviewed the document. The proposal advocates for hearings on the cost of living, requiring company executives to explain consumer fees, pricing behavior, and business models, rather than focusing solely on Trump's personal controversies. However, related legislation still faces resistance from the White House. Trump has repeatedly opposed mandatory rules for AI and reiterated his "100% support for superintelligence (SI)" on Friday. Democrats can use their control of committees to push for proposals and require executives to attend hearings, but overturning a presidential veto requires a two-thirds majority in both houses of Congress. Ed Mills, director of policy research at Raymond James, believes that the likelihood of AI legislation passing is higher than market expectations, and Democrats may also try to include regulatory provisions in regular legislation that must be passed annually. Internal disagreements remain within the Democratic Party regarding the scope of the investigation, and it remains uncertain whether the aforementioned corporate survey proposal will be fully adopted. Some moderates worry that overemphasizing corporate responsibility could repeat the policy approach criticized as "anti-business," and advocate narrowing the scope of the investigation, concentrating resources, and avoiding too many issues.
