AI-backed PAC commits $3 million to boost Wiener's congressional bid
Original: AI-backed PAC puts up $3 million to elect Wiener to Congress
A political action committee backed by tech industry money has pledged $3 million to support California State Senator Scott Wiener's campaign for Congress. The spending is drawing attention because of the PAC's artificial intelligence ties and because Wiener, author of a prominent state AI safety bill, has been a frequent critic of the tech industry on regulation, making the alliance notable in a competitive race.
Why now: The unusual contrast between an AI-funded PAC and Wiener's record pushing AI regulation is drawing attention to an active congressional race.
