Summary

The progressive advocacy group Demand Progress has launched a new online tool called "AI Money Watch" that tracks dark money spending by the AI industry's largest super PAC, Leading the Future (LTF), which has raised $125 million to influence midterm elections. The tool uses FEC filings to show which candidates from both parties are receiving funds from the AI industry, as public skepticism and backlash against AI grows on Capitol Hill.
