[Including a16z and OpenAI co-founder among others jointly established a $100 million PAC for the AI industry] Leading AI companies and tech giants, including Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) and OpenAI co-founder Greg Brockman, announced the establishment of the "Leading the Future" Political Action Committee (PAC), planning to invest $100 million to support state and federal candidates aligned with pro-AI agendas over the next two years. The fund will focus on the primaries and general elections in key AI development states such as California, New York, Illinois, and Ohio this year, and will expand to the federal level before the 2026 midterm elections. This move aims to ensure the United States maintains its leadership in the AI field and to combat policies that may hinder innovation. The fund's operations draw on the Fairshake PAC from the crypto industry and collaborate with political strategist Josh Vlasto to promote related actions.
