AI PAC Funding Surge

Leading the Future, a PAC backed by AI groups including Andreessen Horowitz, Greg Brockman, and Perplexity, raised $15M in Q1, bringing its total to $140M for the election cycle. The group has supported candidates from both parties and recently endorsed five House Democrats. A coalition led by The Tech Oversight Project urged those lawmakers to disavow the PAC, calling it a mouthpiece for the AI industry.
