AI groups spend $20 million going head-to-head in New York race pitting Bores, Lasher, Schlossberg

In a significant political battle over AI regulation, more than $20 million has been spent in New York's 12th congressional district primary race. The contest features state Assemblyman Alex Bores, a proponent of AI safety legislation, against fellow Assemblyman Micah Lasher and Jack Schlossberg, grandson of John F. Kennedy. Two major PACs, Leading the Future and Public First Action, are at the forefront, with the former opposing Bores and the latter supporting him, reflecting a broader debate on the future of AI policy in the U.S.
