At a global AI summit in India, OpenAI’s Sam Altman and Anthropic’s Dario Amodei turned a unity photo-op into a public rivalry, underscoring a policy fight with electoral stakes.
In the 2026 midterms, OpenAI and Anthropic are directing money to super PACs as Congress weighs AI regulation.
Anthropic pledged $20 million and supported Rep. Josh Gottheimer, while a Public First Action ad said he can ensure “A.I. serves us, not the other way around.”
The group led by Brad Carson and Chris Stewart also backs Sens. Marsha Blackburn and Pete Ricketts.
Leading the Future, backed by Greg Brockman and Andreessen Horowitz, plans over $100 million in federal races, raising concerns lawmakers may shy away from tougher rules. #ai2026 #campaigntrail #aipolicy #politicalspending #electionimpact
