AI PAC Cash Clash Reshapes NYC Primary on Regulation
TL;DR Summary
AI PACs have poured over $20 million into New York's 12th congressional district race, a proxy battle over AI regulation. Leading the Future has spent about $8 million opposing Assemblyman Alex Bores, while Public First Action — funded by Anthropic with around $20 million — has supported Bores to the tune of about $11 million. The contest, also featuring Micah Lasher and Jack Schlossberg, underscores competing visions for AI rules: Bores favors balanced safeguards, while the pro-regulation bloc pushes stricter, safety‑by‑design standards, a dynamic that could shape national AI policy.
