Anthropic-funded group backs candidate attacked by rival AI super PAC

Two opposing political groups funded by AI companies are battling over a New York congressional race. Anthropic-backed Public First Action is spending $450,000 to support Assembly member Alex Bores, while a rival group called Leading the Future (funded by OpenAI, Andreessen Horowitz, and others) has spent $1.1 million attacking him for sponsoring the RAISE Act, which requires AI developers to disclose safety protocols (documentation of how AI systems prevent harm) and report serious misuse.
