Ex-Lawmakers Mobilize Funds For AI Guardrails
8.0
Two former U.S. congressmen, Republican Chris Stewart and Democrat Brad Carson, announced separate super PACs this month to raise $50 million to back 2026 candidates who support stronger AI regulation. They aim to counter tech-industry-funded groups that favor lighter oversight and influence congressional composition on AI safety, transparency, and incident-reporting rules. The move could shift lobbying dynamics and pressure firms to adapt compliance strategies.
