The $27 million Al proxy war over Alex Bores ends in a draw

A $27 million political campaign between AI companies Anthropic and OpenAI, fought through a super PAC (a political organization that can raise unlimited funds), ended without a clear winner when Alex Bores, a New York politician who had authored AI safety legislation, narrowly lost a Democratic primary election. Bores had previously passed the RAISE Act, which added safety requirements for advanced AI companies, but this legislation upset the pro-AI super PAC that opposed him.
