AI Safety Group Lands $20M from Anthropic
AI firm Anthropic has invested $20 million in Public First Action, a political group supporting candidates advocating for balanced AI regulation. This move signals Anthropic’s commitment to shaping AI policy, emphasizing safety, job growth, and transparency. The group aims to back 30-50 candidates, contrasting with pro-AI PACs funded by tech investors. Anthropic’s stance aligns with public opinion favoring AI regulation, despite criticism of its “fear-mongering” approach to policy influence.
