Anthropic donates $20 million to pro-AI regulation PAC
The war to build a better AI model may be mostly happening in Silicon Valley, but now another important front has opened — Washington, DC.
Anthropic announced a $20 million donation to Public First Action, a new super PAC that advocates for AI policies and regulations that prioritize public safety. The PAC describes itself as “a counterforce that will defend the public interest against those who aim to buy their way out of sensible rule-making.”
The move is seen as a counter to OpenAI’s growing investments in PACs that argue for less AI regulation.
OpenAI recently donated to Leading the Future PAC, which has received over $50 million from the family of OpenAI president and co-founder Greg Brockman, and the VC firm Andreessen Horowitz. The PAC says it is focused on “identifying, maintaining, and growing pro-AI candidates in order to support an AI innovation policy agenda at the state and federal level.”
OpenAI’s Brockman and his wife Anna recently donated a total of $25 million to the pro-Trump MAGA, INC. PAC.
