Sanders, Ocasio-Cortez Unveil AI Data Center Moratorium Act as Vance Warns of Regulation 'Trojan Horse'

Summary
JD Vance said the Trump administration is concerned about AI but argued companies such as OpenAI and Anthropic may be using calls for regulation as a "Trojan horse."
Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez this week rolled out the Artificial Intelligence Data Center Moratorium Act, saying Congress has been "asleep at the wheel" and that AI needs guardrails.
The report argues the sharper risks are immediate ones—job loss, scams, censorship, biased algorithms, child safety and AI use in schools, policing and online platforms—rather than extinction scenarios pushed by some tech leaders.
That framing casts Big Tech's doomsday warnings as a distraction from practical oversight, while the administration and lawmakers weigh how to regulate AI's real-world uses without stifling growth.
