Updated 12m agoConsensus Brief
Political action committees (PACs) supporting and opposing the AI industry spent millions to influence the midterm elections, resulting in mixed outcomes. Notably, the American Mission PAC spent $4.8 million backing candidates who ultimately lost, while the Democratic arm, Think Big, successfully supported Florida Rep. Jared Moskowitz. The ongoing debate centers around whether Congress should establish a national AI framework or allow states to impose their own regulations.
