News Summary

A newly formed super PAC called ‘Leading the Future,’ backed by over $100 million from the artificial intelligence industry, is targeting New York State Assemblymember Alex Bores. Bores, who is running for Congress, co-sponsored the RAISE Act, a bill aimed at regulating AI developers by requiring them to publish safety reports to prevent misuse of the technology. The bill has faced opposition from Silicon Valley, including venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, and AI industry leaders such as OpenAI cofounder Greg Brockman and Palantir cofounder Joe Lonsdale. The PAC intends to spend millions to thwart Bores’ campaign, criticizing the legislation as a move that could hinder AI innovation in New York and nationwide.
