New Political Group to Push Trump's A.I. Agenda in Midterms
Source: NYT
The group, called Innovation Council Action, said on Sunday that it would spend at least $100 million this year on its activities. That will include a major advocacy push behind new A.I. policy guidelines unveiled by the White House this month that seek to block state laws regulating A.I. The group is organized as a nonprofit, but is likely to start a super PAC as part of that $100 million push. That structure would allow Innovation Council to help backers and attack opponents of Mr. Trump’s A.I. agenda.
The group is yet another indication of the volume of money that is to be spent by the A.I. industry on the midterms. Several other political operations backed by the industry have also raised tens, if not hundreds, of millions of dollars — but are more bipartisan.
That approach has rankled some senior officials on the right, who have been pushing for a narrower Republican operation given how supportive Republicans in Washington, including Mr. Trump, have largely been of the A.I. industry.
Innovation Council, by contrast, is explicitly aligned with the Trump operation. It is led by Taylor Budowich, a longtime Trump political adviser who served as White House deputy chief of staff, and has the blessing of David Sacks, a White House official.
