Super PACs Clash Over Artificial Intelligence for Congressional Seat

US politics is increasingly influenced by artificial intelligence, with the emergence of political action committees (PACs) that support or oppose candidates based on their positions on AI. A prime example is the competition for a congressional seat in New York, where two PACs with opposing views on AI are clashing.

At the heart of the dispute is Alex Bores, a candidate supported by a pro-AI PAC. Bores is a promoter of the RAISE Act, a bill that would require AI developers to disclose the safety protocols of their systems and report any serious misuse. This position has attracted the attention and support of a PAC favorable to AI, but also the opposition of another PAC that considers him a target.

The growing importance of AI in the political debate raises questions about the future of regulation and the influence that these lobby groups can exert on the decisions of legislators.
