The donation is the latest attempt by the AI sector to increase its influence over U.S. policy, as the federal government considers more oversight of the sector. Public First Action supports two political action committees that give money to candidates who support their agenda.
According to Federal Election Commission records, these committees have donated to Republican U.S. Senator Pete Ricketts of Nebraska, Democratic U.S. House candidate Brian Poindexter of Ohio, and Republican U.S. Senate candidate Kevin Hern of Oklahoma, among other candidates for federal office.
