The $27 million Al proxy war over Alex Bores ends in a draw

A $27 million political proxy war between Anthropic and OpenAI ended in a draw as Alex Bores, a New York state Assemblyman backed by a pro-AI super PAC, narrowly lost the Democratic primary for NY's 12th Congressional district. Bores had previously authored the RAISE Act, which imposed safety requirements on AI companies, drawing opposition from the pro-AI group Leading the Future. The race highlights the growing influence of AI industry money in political campaigns.
