Leading the Future

Leading the Future is a super Political Action Committee (PAC) that has emerged as a significant player in the political landscape surrounding Artificial Intelligence. The organization is backed by substantial funding from prominent figures and companies in the AI industry, including Andreessen Horowitz, OpenAI President Greg Brockman, AI search startup Perplexity, and Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale. The PAC's stated mission appears to be promoting a particular vision for AI, which contrasts with other pro-AI groups. They have actively engaged in political campaigns, notably by attacking New York Assembly member Alex Bores due to his sponsorship of the RAISE Act, which mandates AI developers to disclose safety protocols and report misuse of their systems. Leading the Future's activities suggest a focus on influencing AI policy and regulation through political advocacy.
