After the U.S. midterm elections, concerns about tightening AI regulations and slowing data center construction have intensified, leading to a significant sell-off in U.S. tech stocks. On November 5, the "Seven Sisters" of U.S. stocks lost approximately $1.04 trillion in market value in a single day, with Nvidia dropping 9.26%, resulting in a loss of over $440 billion in market value, which is 2 to 4 times the decline of core clients like Microsoft, Google, and Amazon.The financial pressure on AI infrastructure investment is increasing. In the third quarter of this year, the combined operating cash flow of Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and Meta was no longer sufficient to cover fixed asset expenditures, with a funding gap of about $26.4 billion, whereas a year ago, the four companies still had a cash flow surplus of about $61.7 billion. Amazon's free cash flow turned from $14.8 billion in the past 12 months to a net outflow of $42.4 billion, while Meta's free cash flow turned negative for the first time in over a decade, and Google's long-term debt increased from about $20 billion to $125 billion.On Election Day, out of 41 local propositions related to data centers in 10 U.S. states, 40 of the voting results leaned towards restricting development, with 27 restrictive or oppositional propositions being passed. Research firm SemiAnalysis predicts that the impact of related policy changes on projects already underway by 2027 will be limited, but it may affect computing power expansion plans for 2028 and beyond.

According to a report by Semafor, OpenAI and Anthropic will establish dedicated war rooms for the U.S. midterm elections for the first time to ensure that their respective platforms provide accurate election information. An Anthropic spokesperson stated that the company's teams have been strengthening election-related protections and enforcing platform policies throughout the year, and the dedicated team established before the election will monitor platform abuse and prepare for rapid responses to emergencies.The practice of tech platforms establishing election war rooms dates back to 2018, when Meta first set up such teams to combat the spread of misinformation during elections. Today, related risks also include deepfake videos and AI search tools spreading misinformation. The report cited that Google AI Mode did not answer the question of who won the 2020 U.S. presidential election last week, and Google stated that it is working on a fix.The unpredictability of AI outputs, recent cybersecurity issues, and the tendency of AI search tools to cater to user expectations all increase the difficulty of monitoring and responding. Katie Harbath, former head of public policy at Meta, stated that the role of the war room is to quickly assess and categorize issues according to established procedures when unexpected problems arise.
