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

Alex Bores, a New York state Assemblyman, lost the Democratic primary to represent New York's 12th Congressional district after a $27 million political proxy war between Anthropic and OpenAI. Bores, known for passing the RAISE Act to regulate AI companies, faced opposition from a pro-AI super PAC. The draw in the race signifies the clash between tech industry interests and regulatory efforts in the AI sector. Micah Lasher will replace Rep Jerry Nadler in the congressional seat. The outcome reflects the complex interplay between technology, politics, and regulation in the evolving landscape of artificial intelligence.
