Pro-AI Super PAC Network Had Little Effect on US Midterms
A political group called Leading the Future, backed by wealthy figures from Silicon Valley, held a $100 million war chest and pushed against AI rules. On Tuesday's US midterm election night, that effort did not seem to achieve much. The result suggests the spending had little effect on voters.
