Background
Leading the Future is an AI industry super PAC opposing federal AI regulation, backed by OpenAI co-founder Greg Brockman and Andreessen Horowitz. It funds congressional candidates by running advertising on healthcare, immigration, and jobs that makes no reference to artificial intelligence, effectively disguising its agenda from voters.
The PAC operates in direct competition with Public First Action, a rival AI super PAC backed by Anthropic with million, which favours regulation. The Campaign Legal Center has flagged both PACs' advertising practices for the opacity of their true agenda. The existence of competing AI industry PACs taking opposite sides on regulation reflects a genuine policy split within the technology sector over whether voluntary self-regulation or federal law better serves AI companies' long-term interests.
