Andreessen Horowitz and OpenAI President Greg Brockman are among the Silicon Valley veterans putting more than $100 million into a network of political-action committees (PACs) that will advocate against strict AI regulations in next year\u2019s midterm elections, reports The Wall Street Journal.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The new pro-AI super-PAC network dubbed \u201cLeading the Future\u201d aims to use campaign donations and digital ads to advocate for favorable AI regulation and oppose candidates that the group thinks will stifle the industry.<\/p>\n
Both Andreessen Horowitz and OpenAI were part of a push earlier this year to implement a 10-year moratorium on states\u2019 rights to create their own AI regulations. The ban was ultimately struck down, but the AI industry continues to fight against a \u201cpatchwork of regulations,\u201d which they say would slow down innovation and put the U.S. at risk of losing the AI race to China.<\/p>\n
The group hopes to mirror its approach on pro-crypto super-PAC network Fairshake, which helped cement a victory for Donald Trump. It will generally align with the policies of White House AI and crypto czar David Sacks, per The Journal.\u00a0<\/p>\n
