AI Super PAC Targets NY Dem Alex Bores: Backfire?

What happens when a $100 million AI super PAC declares you its number one enemy? For NY politician Alex Bores, it's a high-stakes clash over AI regulation that he claims has spectacularly backfired on his powerful opponents. The "Leading the Future" PAC, backed by giants like Andreessen Horowitz and OpenAI's cofounder, is spending millions to kill Bores's congressional bid over his AI safety bill. The bill would slap AI firms with fines up to $30 million for failing to publish safety reports, a move Bores argues is necessary for accountability. This showdown is the first major battle in a brewing war over whether states or the federal government will write the rules for artificial intelligence. While the PAC runs a multi-million dollar opposition campaign, Bores is using the national attention to champion tech accountability and set a defiant precedent for other lawmakers.
