Press release
New York’s congressional primaries on Tuesday were supposed to be the moment AI’s top backers definitively proved they could bend US politics to their will. Instead, they left behind a muddy stalemate that only raises more questions about whether their spending can keep pace with an anti-AI backlash.

The New York State assemblymember has emerged as an inspiration and a source of ideas for state lawmakers nationwide who are pushing for rules to rein in AI, despite losing a congressional primary in June under an $8 million barrage of pro-tech attacks. And Bores increasingly serves a similar animating role for a faction of the AI industry that favors tougher regulations.

So why is a co-founder of Palantir, Joe Lonsdale, in this case, funding a super PAC to try to destroy Bores? The reason is that Leading the Future is a super PAC dedicated to destroying anyone who might regulate the tech industry, in general, or A.I., specifically, in a way these funders don’t like.
Opinion
Alex Bores is a Democratic candidate for Congress, and AI super PACs are coming for him. That’s because at the center of his platform is a plan to regulate and legislate AI. He tells Laura Coates why this is the issue voters need to be focused on.
