AI advocates have raised $140 million for US elections, emulating crypto industry political lobbying
- Advocates supporting AI-friendly policies have raised about $140 million for the 2023 US elections.
- This fundraising effort aims to replicate the political lobbying success seen in the cryptocurrency industry.
- The largest pro-AI lobbying group is 'Leading the Future', funded by executives from OpenAI, Palantir, and Andreessen Horowitz.
- Opposition efforts are led by Anthropic, which has invested about $80 million in promoting AI risk prevention measures.
- The AI policy debate is expected to face organized opposition and public skepticism, differing from the cryptocurrency experience.
According to Reuters, advocates supporting AI-friendly policies have raised about $140 million for this year's US elections, attempting to replicate the crypto industry's previous political success model.
In the last US election, digital currency advocates invested $200 million in campaign funds and reaped substantial rewards, with Congress quickly passing stablecoin legislation and considering other favorable policies for the industry.
The largest pro-AI lobbying group, 'Leading the Future', is mainly funded by OpenAI executives, Palantir, and Andreessen Horowitz, among others.
However, the opposition is led by Anthropic, whose affiliated organizations, such as Public First Action, have invested about $80 million, focusing on promoting AI risk prevention measures.
Due to organized opposition forces and public skepticism, the AI-related policy debate is unlikely to be unilaterally dominated by money the way cryptocurrency was.
人工智能倡导者为美国选举筹集了1.4亿美元，模仿加密货币行业的政治游说
根据路透社的报道，支持人工智能友好政策的倡导者为今年的美国选举筹集了约1.4亿美元，试图模仿加密货币行业之前的政治成功模式。
在上一次美国选举中，数字货币倡导者投资了2亿美元的竞选资金，并获得了丰厚的回报，国会迅速通过了稳定币立法，并考虑其他有利于该行业的政策。
最大的支持人工智能的游说团体“引领未来”主要由OpenAI的高管、Palantir和Andreessen Horowitz等人资助。
然而，反对力量由Anthropic领导，其附属组织（如Public First Action）投资约8000万美元，专注于促进人工智能风险防范措施。
由于组织反对力量和公众怀疑，人工智能相关的政策辩论不太可能像加密货币那样被资金单方面主导。
