U.S. media: AI safety advocacy group sees midterm elections as a major victory
【U.S. media: AI safety advocacy group sees midterm elections as a major victory】CoinChain Express reports: On November 9, according to U.S. financial news outlet Semafor, a memo shows that Public First Action, which is affiliated with Anthropic, and its affiliated super PAC believe AI safety advocates have viewed the U.S. midterm elections as a major victory and are drawing up plans for their next phase of action. Public First, which has received substantial funding from Anthropic and advocates for regulatory guardrails for artificial intelligence, said that Leading the Future, the top super PAC supporting AI development, had “suffered a crushing defeat.” The group also warned, however: “It would be a mistake to interpret this election and the decline of Leading the Future as the end of Big Tech’s political push on AI.” Its goals for 2027 include pushing Congress to pass AI legislation that does not preempt states’ authority to legislate, supporting candidates who favor AI safety regulation, and using the $30 million it currently has on hand to counter messages from the pro-AI-development camp.
