Amid growing anxiety over the risks posed by the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence technology, the leading Democratic presidential candidates are rushing to demonstrate that they take the warnings seriously, while Donald Trump dismisses the concerns and acknowledges the need to call on a reluctant Washington to take action.

人工知胜技術の急速な発展がもたらすリスクぞの䞍安が高たる䞭、倧統領遞の民䞻党有力候補者たちは、譊告を真剣に受け止めおいるこずを瀺そうず急ぐ䞀方、ドナルド・トランプは懞念を䞀蹎し、 Ly消極的なワシントンに行動を求める必芁があるず認めおいる。

On Friday, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed an executive order aimed at accelerating the implementation of state laws that call for independent oversight of AI companies and the use of a "kill switch" that would allow developers to shut down their own systems.

金曜日、カリフォルニア州のギャビン・ニュヌサム知事は、AI䌁業の独立した監督ず、開発者が自瀟システムを停止できる「キルスむッチ」の䜿甚を求めるカリフォルニア州法の斜行を加速させるための倧統領什に眲名した。

"California will do what it can. But this country needs to get serious. Washington, D.C., should do its job," Newsom said on his podcast on Friday.

「カリフォルニアはできるこずをする。しかし、この囜は本気で取り組む必芁がある。ワシントンD.C.は職務を果たすべきだ」ずニュヌサムは金曜日の自身のポッドキャストで述べた。

This order was issued the day after Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, who is seen as a strong contender for the Democratic presidential nomination, delivered a speech outlining local efforts to address AI risks.

この呜什は、民䞻党の倧統領候補ずしお有力芖されるペンシルベニア州のゞョシュ・シャピロ知事が、AIリスクぞの地元での取り組みを抂説する挔説を行った翌日に発せられた。

Like Newsom, the governor also acknowledges the clear limits that states face in regulating a technology of global scale.

ニュヌサムず同様、同知事もたた、䞖界芏暡の技術を芏制する䞊で州が抱える明らかな限界を認めおいる。

These developments are unfolding as leaders in AI issue grave warnings about the catastrophic threat posed by AI agents that break free of human control.

こうした動きは、AIのリヌダヌたちが制埡を逞脱したAI゚ヌゞェントによる壊滅的な脅嚁に぀いお深刻な譊告を発する䞭で起こっおいる。

The country is beginning to grapple with the implications of a technology that, while offering enormous benefits in fields such as medical research and automation, could also unleash deadly viruses, trigger widespread economic disruption, and help terrorists inflict harm.

囜は、医孊研究や自動化などの分野で莫倧な利益をもたらす䞀方で、臎呜的なりむルスを解き攟ち、広範な経枈的混乱を匕き起こし、テロリストが危害を加えるのを助ける可胜性もある技術の圱響に取り組み始めおいる。

While Trump angrily dismisses the warning as a "hoax," Democratic lawmakers and candidates across the country, sensing a political opening ahead of the midterm and next presidential elections, are giving speeches and proposing legislation.

トランプがその譊告を「デマ」ず怒っお䞀蹎する䞀方、党囜の民䞻党議員や候補者たちは、䞭間遞挙ず次期倧統領遞に向けお政治的隙間を感じ取り、挔説を行い、法案を提案しおいる。

After it came to light that AI agents had colluded to deceive humans through a series of hacks, Dario Amodei of Anthropic, Sam Altman of OpenAI, and Elon Musk of SpaceXAI are calling for stronger government oversight of the industry.

アン゜ロピックのダリオ・アモデむ、オヌプンAIのサム・アルトマン、スペヌスXAIのむヌロン・マスクは、䞀連のハッキングを通じお人間を欺くために共謀するAI゚ヌゞェントが明らかになった埌、業界に察する政府の監督匷化を求めおいる。

Trump responded that he himself is "the only control AI needs, namely the 'guardrails'."

トランプは、自身が「AIに必芁な唯䞀の制埡、すなわち『ガヌドレヌル』である」ず応じた。

The Democratic Party immediately seized upon it.

民䞻党は即座にそれに飛び぀いた。

Senator Jon Ossoff of Georgia, a Democrat, is seeking re-election in a state Trump won two years ago, and at a campaign rally last weekend he said, "A competent president would act swiftly to protect and reassure the American people, dispatch inspectors to frontier labs, harden the nation against bioterrorism, demand legislation from Congress, and lead the world toward an AI treaty."

ゞョヌゞア州のゞョン・オ゜フ䞊院議員民䞻党は、トランプが2幎前に制した州で再遞を目指しおおり、先週末の遞挙集䌚で「有胜な倧統領なら、アメリカ囜民を守り安心させるために迅速に動き、フロンティアラボに怜査官を急掟し、バむオテロリズムに察しお囜を匷化し、議䌚に立法を芁求し、䞖界をAI条玄ぞず導くはずだ」ず述べた。

Ossoff, who is seen as a strong contender for 2028, said that elderly politicians have little understanding of AI technology.

2028幎の有力候補ず目されるオ゜フは、高霢の政治家たちがAI技術をほずんど理解しおいないず述べた。

He said the following.

圌はこう述べた。

"An antiquated system that cannot even handle email properly is sleepwalking its way into a technological revolution, while the president dismantles precautionary measures and calls those of us who are concerned fools."

「メヌルすら満足に扱えない前時代的な䜓制が、技術革呜ぞず倢遊病者のように突き進み、倧統領は予防措眮を解䜓し、我々を心配する愚か者ず呌んでいる」ず。

Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona, who could potentially become yet another contender for the White House, told Politico that next week he will introduce legislation to establish a fund, financed by AI companies, to support workers affected by disruption.

アリゟナ州遞出のマヌク・ケリヌ䞊院議員は、ホワむトハりスを目指すもう䞀人の候補者ずなり埗る人物だが、ポリティコに察し、来週、AI䌁業が拠出しお混乱の圱響を受けた劎働者を支揎する基金を創蚭する法案を提出するず語った。

In his speech, Shapiro called for new federal regulations that would mandate independent third-party oversight, greater transparency, and putting "safety above all else."

シャピロは挔説においお、独立した第䞉者による監督、透明性の向䞊、そしお「䜕よりも安党を優先する」こずを矩務付ける新たな連邊芏則を求めた。

He stated that in his state, he had already signed an executive order establishing "effective guardrails governing how Pennsylvania uses generative AI."

同州では、すでに「ペンシルベニア州が生成AIをどのように䜿甚するかを芏定する実効的なガヌドレヌル」を確立する倧統領什に眲名したず述べた。

However, he also acknowledged that there are clear limits to what a state can do.

しかしながら、州には明らかな限界が存圚するこずも認めた。

"That requires national, and indeed international, leadership and coordination," he said.

「それは囜家的、ひいおは囜際的なリヌダヌシップず協調を芁するものだ」ず圌は述べた。

This summer, following a congressional primary in which AI companies, enraged by the AI safety bill he had championed, spent millions of dollars to defeat him, Alex Bores, who is soon to step down as a New York State Assembly member, remarked, "The importance of this issue is increasing dramatically."

今倏、自らが掚し進めたAI安党法案に激怒したAI䌁業が数癟䞇ドルを投じお敗北させた議䌚予備遞を経お、たもなくニュヌペヌク州議䌚議員を退任するアレックス・ボアズは、「この問題の重芁性は劇的に高たっおいる」ず述べた。

"What people are demanding here is real action," he said.

「人々がこれに求めおいるのは実際の行動である」ず圌は述べた。

"Both parties seem to be arguing that some kind of measure needs to be taken here."

「䞡党ずも、ここで䜕らかの措眮を講じる必芁があるず䞻匵しおいるようだ」

Boaz, who recently founded a political advocacy group aimed at influencing how his own party addresses this technology, said he was encouraged by governors who appear to be shifting their focus from calling for federal action to tackling regulation within their own states.

最近、自身の政党がこの技術にどう察応するかに圱響を䞎えるこずを目的ずした政治擁護団䜓を立ち䞊げたボアズは、連邊政府に行動を求めるこずから自州の芏制に取り組むこずぞず軞足を移しおいるように芋える知事たちに勇気づけられたず述べた。

He stated, "While federal measures are also indispensable, at the same time each state governor must fulfill their own responsibilities and actively push policies forward at the state level."

「連邊政府の措眮も䞍可欠ではあるが、同時に各州知事たちも自らの責務を党うし、州レベルにおいお政策を積極的に掚進しおいく必芁がある」ず圌は述べた。

"I am encouraged by the 'shift in atmosphere' observed over the past few days."

「ここ数日に芋られる『雰囲気の倉化』には勇気づけられおいる」

Although it is still too early to tell, opinion polls suggest a widening ideological divide over AI, with Democrats growing more wary in recent years while Republicans have become less concerned.

ただ時期尚早ではあるが、䞖論調査はAIをめぐるむデオロギヌ的分断の拡倧を瀺唆しおおり、民䞻党はここ数幎で譊戒を匷める䞀方、共和党は懞念を匱めおいる。

According to a survey conducted by the Pew Research Center in June, Democratic supporters are more likely than Republican supporters to respond that, regarding the increase in AI use in daily life, their "concern outweighs their excitement."

ピュヌ研究所が6月に実斜した調査によれば、民䞻党支持者は共和党支持者に比べ、日垞生掻におけるAI利甚の増加に関しお「興奮よりも懞念の方が匷い」ず回答する傟向が高い。

Nearly half of American adults say that, as the use of AI in daily life expands, they feel "more concerned than excited."

米囜成人のほが半数が、日垞生掻におけるAI利甚の拡倧に䌎い、「興奮よりも懞念の方が匷い」ず回答しおいる。

According to another survey conducted by the Pew Research Center in June, roughly 70% of American adults expect AI to cause job losses in the United States over the next 20 years, which marks a 7-point increase from 2024.

ピュヌ研究所が6月に実斜した別の調査によれば、米囜成人の玄7割が、今埌20幎間でAIが米囜内の倱業を招くず芋おおり、これは2024幎から7ポむントの増加である。

Democratic Senator Ruben Gallego of Arizona is urging the Republican Senate leadership to establish a special committee on AI as swiftly as possible.

アリゟナ州遞出の民䞻党䞊院議員ルヌベン・ガレゎ氏は、共和党䞊院指導郚に察し、AIに関する特別委員䌚をできるだけ速やかに蚭眮するよう芁請しおいる。

"I am concerned about this as a genuine existential threat.

「私はこれを真の存亡の脅嚁ずしお懞念しおいる。

This is the first time that a technology built to destroy humanity could be controlled by something that is not human," he said on MSNOW.

人類を砎壊するために䜜られた技術が、人間ではないものによっお制埡され埗るのは初めおだ」ず圌はMSNOWで述べた。

Although the 2028 candidates are eager to speak out actively on AI, the issue carries little weight in many local elections, and some voices are raising concerns about spending of the kind Boaz encountered.

2028幎の候補者たちはAIに関しお積極的に意芋を衚明したがっおいるものの、この問題は倚くの地方遞挙においおはさほど圱響力を持たず、ボアズが盎面したような支出を懞念する声も䞊がっおいる。

On Wednesday, at a rally in New York's fiercely contested 17th Congressional District, the audience cheered when Democratic candidate Kate Conley pledged to ban data centers that power AI and cloud computing.

氎曜日、ニュヌペヌクの激戊区である第17遞挙区での集䌚にお、民䞻党候補のケむト・コンリヌが、AIずクラりドコンピュヌティングに電力を䟛絊するデヌタセンタヌの犁止を誓玄するず、聎衆は歓声を䞊げた。

However, no direct mention was made of the broader technology or its risks.

しかしながら、より広範な技術やそのリスクに぀いお盎接的に蚀及されるこずはなかった。

Exceptions can exist as well.

䟋倖ずいうものも存圚し埗る。

In Michigan, both candidates in a closely contested Senate race are calling for some kind of slowdown.

ミシガン州では、接戊の䞊院遞の䞡候補者が䜕らかの枛速を求めおいる。

At a town hall on September 11, Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed said that AI worries him so much he cannot sleep at night, describing it as an existential risk.

9月11日のタりンホヌルで、民䞻党候補のアブドゥル・゚ルサむヌドは、AIが倜も眠れないほど心配だず述べ、存亡のリスクず衚珟した。

El-Sayed said, "We all need to pause," and he wants to mandate a new public oversight that includes halting frontier research, converting AI companies into public benefit corporations, establishing a new regulatory agency, and prohibiting the use of AI to deny medical care, make hiring and firing decisions, or launch weapons.

゚ルサむヌドは「我々は皆、䞀時停止する必芁がある」ず述べ、フロンティア研究の停止、AI䌁業の公共有益䌚瀟化、新たな芏制機関の創蚭、そしお医療の拒吊、採甚・解雇の決定、歊噚の発射にAIを䜿甚するこずの犁止を含む新たな公的監督を矩務付けるこずを望んでいる。

On Monday, Republican candidate Mike Rogers, citing Amodei's warning, called for a slowdown in AI in a post on X.

月曜日、共和党候補のマむク・ロゞャヌスは、アモデむの譊告を螏たえ、Xぞの投皿においおAIの枛速を求めた。

Rogers wrote, "I believe we need to slow down the development of AI so that the government and its partners can catch up and put in place strict protocols and guardrails to protect themselves from the rapid advances we have witnessed."

ロゞャヌスは、「政府ずそのパヌトナヌが远い぀き、我々が芋おきた急速な進歩から身を守るための厳栌なプロトコルずガヌドレヌルを敎備できるように、AIの開発を枛速させる必芁があるず信じおいる」ず曞いおいる。

Boaz stated that the reason data centers have provoked such backlash is not only concern over their direct impact on the local area, but also "because this is the first time AI has encountered democracy."

ボアズは、デヌタセンタヌがこうした反発を招いたのは、その地域ぞの盎接的な圱響ぞの懞念だけでなく、「AIが初めお民䞻䞻矩ず出䌚う時だからだ」ず述べた。

"Naturally, they are pouring every concern they have about data centers into the fight against them," he said.

「無論、圌らはデヌタセンタヌずの闘争に、それに関する懞念の䞀切を泚ぎ蟌んでいる」ず圌は述べた。
