AI Billionaires Score Win in $29 Million Proxy Fight

“Artificial intelligence billionaires including venture capitalist Marc Andreessen and OpenAI President Greg Brockman scored a key victory in a New York City congressional primary that became a $29 million proxy battle over who will control the future of AI,” Bloomberg reports.

“A super political action committee backed by Brockman, Andreessen and others spent more than $8 million opposing Alex Bores, a state assemblyman who attracted the industry’s ire last year when he sponsored legislation that sought to hold AI companies accountable for harms caused by their products.”

“Ultimately, another New York assemblyman, Micah Lasher, won the crowded Democratic contest on Tuesday.”
