OpenAI, Anthropic Spending $17.6M Combined on NY Congressional Race Over AI Regulation

According to Odaily, OpenAI-backed groups and Anthropic-aligned networks recently poured millions into competing campaigns for New York state congressman Alex Bores' congressional bid. OpenAI-affiliated organizations invested over $7.6 million to oppose Bores' election, while Anthropic-backed groups spent more than $10 million in support. The dispute centers on Bores' proposed RAISE Act, which would require AI companies to report potential "catastrophic risks," representing one of the U.S.'s strictest AI safety regulations. The contest reflects broader industry disagreement over whether AI should be self-regulated by companies or subject to strict government oversight.
