Summary
A new wave of super PACs funded by AI industry giants is spending millions on advertisements in congressional races across the United States. These groups, with nondescript names like Jobs and Democracy PAC, are backing candidates in both parties, including Rep. Celeste Maloy (R-Utah) and Rep. Val Hoyle (D-Oregon). In some races, the AI-backed political groups have spent more than the candidates they are supporting, signaling a major push by the tech industry to influence political outcomes and shape AI regulation.
