Venture capitalists Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz poured $25 million into a pro-artificial intelligence super political action committee, boosting the industry’s war chest ahead of the November midterm elections.

The AI-focused Leading the Future super PAC now has over $51 million on hand thanks to the donations from the Andreessen Horowitz co-founders, according to its latest filings with the Federal Election Commission released Wednesday. The haul comes as Silicon Valley is spending more than ever to fend off a growing patchwork of state rules that the industry says could hamper its ability to quickly develop the AI technologies reshaping the US economy.
