  1. The Atlantic | The AI Super PACs Trying to Influence the Midterms by Will Gottsegen

    AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

    The article explains how AI‑focused super‑PACs are pouring tens of millions of dollars into the U.S. midterm elections to shape the future of AI regulation, echoing the cryptocurrency industry’s 2024 “Fairshake” playbook. Two rival groups have emerged: Leading the Future, co‑founded by Andreessen Horowitz and funded by OpenAI insiders, promotes a light‑touch, pro‑AI agenda and has raised over $140 million; and Public First Action, backed by Anthropic, backs candidates who prioritize AI safety and comprehensive regulation, receiving a $20 million donation earmarked for education rather than election activity. The clash between these factions is epitomized in New York’s 12th Congressional District, where pro‑regulation candidate Alex Bores—formerly of Palantir—faces a barrage of ads from Leading the Future while Public First Action spends to support him, with $26 million versus $18 million respectively backing opposing sides. The race is positioned as a “final exam” for AI‑linked political spending, set against a backdrop of widespread public distrust of AI, protests against data centers, and heightened debate over how the technology should be governed.

  3. > The poll, conducted by U.K.-based research firm Public First surveying over 18,000 people across 15 countries, shows that just over half of American respondents — as well as majorities of people responding in Japan, India and Vietnam — still see the U.S. as the dominant AI superpower.

    But those in the 11 other countries, including close U.S. allies such as France, Canada and the United Kingdom, see China as the leader. In Germany, only 23 percent of people saw the U.S. as dominant.
