A $100 Million AI Super PAC Targeted New York Democrat Alex Bores. He Thinks It Backfired
"I want to thank [the PAC] for their partnership in raising up the issue of how we regulate an incredibly powerful technology so that the future is one that benefits all of us,"
"I couldn't imagine a better partner this week."
"Assemblyman Bores has advanced exactly the type of ideological and politically motivated legislation that would handcuff not only New York's, but the entire country's, ability to lead on AI jobs and innovation,"
An AI-friendly super PAC backed by $100 million from Silicon Valley is targeting Assemblyman Alex Bores as its first political opponent. Bores coauthored the RAISE Act with state senator Andrew Gounardes to empower New York's attorney general to levy civil penalties up to $30 million against AI developers who fail to publish safety reports. The bill passed the legislature and awaits the governor's signature or veto. Leading the Future, funded by Andreessen Horowitz, Greg Brockman, and Joe Lonsdale, plans to spend millions to defeat Bores, arguing the law would hinder national AI jobs and innovation. The federal government is preparing an executive order to counter state-level AI laws.
