The Coalition of AI Companies has announced the Super Political Action Committee (SuperPAC), designed to influence U.S. technology policies and strengthen the national status in the world’s AI races, according to a press release on August 25th.
The group leading the future has pledged to support candidates who support innovation, opposed to laws that could slow the deployment.
The launch is supported by more than $100 million donations from well-known investors and engineers. Notable supporters include venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz (A16Z), Openai’s Greg and Anna Brockman, Rob Conway, Joe Lonsdale, and the confusion of AI startups.
LTF’s mission
According to its mission statement, the LTF intends to create a bipartisan agenda that will keep the United States at the heart of AI development. The organization plans to build political networks across the federal and state levels to ensure technology-friendly candidates can gain traction in future elections.
Collin McCune, head of government affairs at A16Z, described the initiative as a milestone in the company’s long-term strategy that supports technical lawmakers. He warned that failure to establish favorable policies could cost the United States the role of leadership in emerging industries.
With this in mind, McKun states:
“AI is not hype or sci-fi. It’s already here. This technology can drive the next wave of growth in America, create new jobs and unleash productivity across all sectors of the American economy. But there’s no mistake, it’s also a race with China.
The PAC will be overseen by political consultants Zak Moffatt and Josh Vlasto. Initial operations will begin in New York, California, Illinois and Ohio before expanding nationwide in 2026. The LTF operated during the 2026 election cycle, with the fundraising campaign consistent with the Pro-Fellow Policy Platform.
Follow the Cypto example
The political push for the AI ​​industry closely reflects the tactics used by the crypto sector in the last election.
During the 2024 election cycle, the crypto-funded PAC spent hundreds of millions of people affecting congressional races, from the Democratic Senate primary in California to the closely contested home contested in Virginia.
That investment has since paid a significant dividend, and the US government is currently leaning towards the industry and implementing a series of pro-crypto initiatives designed to thrive the space.
Still, industry players have raised an additional $141 million to expand their lobbying presence in upcoming midterm elections.
