Anthropic-Backed Group Jumps Into New York Congressional Race

A political action committee backed by Anthropic PBC is spending $450,000 to boost a New York congressional candidate who favors safety regulations for artificial intelligence.

The spending by Public First Action’s Democratic arm ratchets up the fight in the central Manhattan congressional district, where a super PAC backed by AI billionaires has already spent $1.1 million on television ads and messages attacking Alex Bores.
