纽约州州长凯西·霍楚尔(Kathy Hochul)可能刚刚签署了一项针对该州新建 AI 数据中心的暂停法案,但她并不反对自己使用这项技术。在接受彭博社 Odd Lots 播客采访时(https://www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/2026-07-15/ny-gov-on-using-ai-to-clean-up-the-state-s-legal-code-video),霍楚尔表示,她的团队正在使用“AI 分析每一条规则、法规和政策”,以检查过时的法律。
霍楚尔在采访中提到的一些陈旧法律包括:猎狗狩猎需要支付 25 美元费用,或者孕妇在午夜后工作需要许可证。霍楚尔补充说,要在工作人员层面上审查该州所有法律“可能需要五年的时间”,但有了 AI,她的团队“在几个月内就完成了”。她说,这将使她和州政府机构“能够清除”这些过时的法规。
本周早些时候,纽约州成为首个暂停新建超大规模数据中心(最长可达一年)的州。在此期间,州立法者计划制定法规,以保护居民免受因大型数据中心带来的上升的公共事业成本和对自然资源的威胁。
霍楚尔告诉彭博社:“我希望政府不是对你紧追不放,而是站在你这边,使用 AI 来实现这一点非常有力。我认为每一级政府都应该使用 AI……我将利用 AI 的力量进行重大变革。”
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 :https://www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/2026-07-15/ny-gov-on-using-ai-to-clean-up-the-state-s-legal-code-video podcast, Hochul said that her team is using “AI to analyze every single rule, regulation, [and] policy” to check for outdated legislation.
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 This will allow Hochul and state agencies “to get rid of” these outdated regulations, she said.
Earlier this week, New York became the first state to put a pause:/policy/965110/new-york-ai-data-center-moratorium 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 data centers.
“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.”
