What Happened

With the midterms right around the corner, the new group is positioned to back candidates who support the AI company's policy agenda.

Our Take

Look, every AI company's doing this now. Anthropic forms a PAC, OpenAI's got Chris Lehane, Meta and Google are already bought. This isn't news—it's table stakes.

What matters is why: regulation's becoming a real business line item. When you're spending billions on compute, political risk isn't abstract—it's a line item next to server costs. They need lawmakers friendly to scaling, not hostile ones.

What To Do

Regulation isn't coming to stop AI; it's coming to direct who wins. Budget accordingly.
