[Reuters: Pro-AI Super PAC Raises $140 Million, Approaching Last Year's Crypto Industry $200 Million Campaign Spending] According to Foresight News, Reuters reported that the pro-artificial intelligence super political action committee Leading the Future has raised $140 million for the 2026 U.S. election, with major funding coming from OpenAI, Palantir executives, and venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz. Its scale is nearing the $200 million campaign spending by the cryptocurrency industry during the last election cycle. Unlike the crypto camp, which faced almost no substantial opposition at the time, AI lobbying is encountering strong resistance from a coalition led by Anthropic. Anthropic has twice donated $20 million each to the lobbying organization Public First Action, and the organization, together with affiliated groups, has collectively invested approximately $80 million to "mitigate significant risks of artificial intelligence."
