New York governor says she’s using AI to analyze ‘every single rule’ in the state

纽约州州长称正利用人工智能分析州内“每一项法规”

New York Governor Kathy Hochul might have just signed a moratorium on new AI data centers in the state, but she’s not against using the technology herself. During an interview with Bloomberg’s Odd Lots podcast, Hochul said that her team is using “AI to analyze every single rule, regulation, [and] policy” to check for outdated legislation. 纽约州州长凯西·霍楚尔（Kathy Hochul）虽然刚刚签署了一项针对州内新建人工智能数据中心的暂停令，但她本人并不排斥使用这项技术。在接受彭博社《Odd Lots》播客采访时，霍楚尔表示，她的团队正在利用“人工智能分析每一条规则、法规和政策”，以排查过时的立法。

Some of the antiquated laws mentioned by Hochul in the interview include a $25 fee required to take a dog hunting, or a stipulation that pregnant people need a permit to work after midnight. Hochul added that it “probably would have taken five years at the staff level” to review all of the laws in the state, but with AI, her team “did it in a couple of months.” This will allow Hochul and state agencies “to get rid of” these outdated regulations, she said. 霍楚尔在采访中提到了一些陈旧的法律，例如携带猎犬狩猎需缴纳25美元的费用，以及孕妇在午夜后工作需要许可证的规定。霍楚尔补充说，如果仅靠人工审查州内所有法律，“可能需要五年时间”，但借助人工智能，她的团队“仅用了几个月就完成了”。她表示，这将使她和州政府机构能够“废除”这些过时的法规。

Earlier this week, New York became the first state to put a pause on new hyperscale data centers for up to a year. In the meantime, state lawmakers plan to come up with regulations to protect residents from the rising utility costs and the threat to natural resources posed by massive数据 centers. 本周早些时候，纽约州成为美国首个对新建超大规模数据中心实施最长一年暂停令的州。在此期间，州议员们计划制定相关法规，以保护居民免受公用事业成本上涨的影响，并应对大型数据中心对自然资源构成的威胁。

“I want a government that’s not on your back but on your side, and using AI has been powerful to do that,” Hochul told Bloomberg. “I think every level of government should use this… I’m going to make dramatic changes using the power of AI.” “我希望政府不是压在你们背上的负担，而是站在你们这一边的伙伴，而利用人工智能在实现这一目标方面非常有效，”霍楚尔告诉彭博社。“我认为各级政府都应该使用这项技术……我将利用人工智能的力量做出重大变革。”
