"Bores is a vocal proponent of rigorous AI regulation and cosponsored New York's RAISE Act, which became law in 2025 and requires major AI firms to implement and publish safety protocols for their models, among other guardrails."
"In late 2025, a super PAC called Leading the Future-bankrolled by OpenAI's Greg Brockman, Palantir cofounder Joe Lonsdale, and VC firm Andreessen Horowitz, among others-launched an aggressive campaign to thwart Bores' primary run."
"The group takes issue with Bores' regulatory approach to the AI industry, which they described as '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.'"
Alex Bores, a former Palantir employee and current New York Assembly member, is running for Congress. He supports stringent AI regulations and co-sponsored the RAISE Act, which mandates safety protocols for AI firms. His stance has attracted criticism from a super PAC funded by prominent Silicon Valley figures, including Palantir's cofounder. This group opposes Bores' regulatory approach, claiming it could hinder innovation and job growth in the AI sector. Bores' candidacy is significant in a competitive primary race, highlighting the tension between tech interests and regulatory efforts.
