Anthropic-linked Public First Action Sees Midterms as AI Safety Win, Plans $30M Push

Cointime reports: Public First Action, an AI safety advocacy group backed heavily by Anthropic, is treating the US midterm elections as a major victory and drafting a next-phase action plan. The group said Leading the Future, the top pro-AI super PAC, has suffered a crushing defeat, but warned against reading the results as the end of Big Tech’s AI political push. Its 2027 goals include backing AI safety candidates and using its $30 million war chest to counter pro-AI messaging.
