A new political organization launched Thursday to “confront the efforts” of the pro-AI super PAC Leading the Future, which has poured millions of dollars into congressional primaries across the country.
The super PAC, named Guardrails Alliance, said it will represent parents, unions and tech workers to “follow the money” and “expose how a small group of Trump-aligned AI billionaires is trying to buy our elections.”
The super PAC also kicked off its first ad buy Thursday, spending $250,000 in support of New York Assembly member Alex Bores in New York’s 12th Congressional District race. Bores is one of Leading the Future’s main targets, spending more than $7 million against his campaign.
Leading the Future, launched last year, has received funding from OpenAI co-founder Greg Brockman, venture capitalist Joe Lonsdale, AI firm Perplexity and venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz. It typically supports candidates who will help advance a “positive, forward-looking agenda for AI innovation” in Washington.
The Hill reached out to Leading the Future for comment.
The Guardrails Alliance launch comes just days before the New York Democratic primary to replace incumbent Rep. Jerry Nadler. According to polling from Decision Desk HQ, Bores is neck and neck with New York State Assembly member Micah Lasher, and he is trailed by Jack Schlossberg, the grandson of former President Kennedy, and George Conway, a former Republican and frequent President Trump critic who is now a Democrat.
Guardrails Alliance joins a handful of other super PACs backing Bores in the face of Leading the Future’s attack ads against the former computer engineer.
Other AI-safety spending groups supporting Bores this cycle include Public First, launched by former Reps. Chris Stewart (R-Utah) and Brad Carson (D-Okla.), and Dream NYC, which framed Bores as someone who will “stand up to Trump’s billionaire allies.” You Can Push Back, a more recent super PAC, received $3.5 million from cryptocurrency executive Chris Larsen to support Bores last month.
