Big Tech calls AI backlash anti-Trump, not anti-tech
Original: Big Tech claims voters’ AI backlash is “anti-Trump” not “anti-tech”: Tech industry in denial as US overwhelmingly votes
US voters have backed restrictions on artificial intelligence and data centres in large numbers, but tech industry figures are framing the backlash as opposition to Trump rather than to the industry itself. Commenters say the sector is in denial, arguing that public scepticism about AI and data centre expansion reflects genuine concern about the technology, not partisan politics.
Why now: Voters' rejection of AI and data centre projects is clashing with Big Tech's attempt to reframe the backlash as partisan.
