"The previously undisclosed board of an ascendant DC think tank pushing Democrats to the center includes a Democratic Party megadonor with a stake in artificial intelligence chip designer Nvidia, which could benefit from the organization’s efforts to defend data center build-outs and limit AI regulation.

The Lever exclusively reports that philanthropist Simone Coxe — whose multibillion-dollar fortune largely comes from her venture capitalist husband’s investments in Nvidia — sits on the board of the Searchlight Institute, a new center-left DC think tank. Nvidia is heavily invested in data center expansion.

Coxe, also the cofounder of and director at California news organization CalMatters and a prolific Democratic donor, is listed as a director of the Searchlight Institute in the organization’s DC incorporation documents. The think tank has not disclosed its association with Coxe or her husband, Tench Coxe.

Searchlight’s board of directors has not been previously reported. It includes other rich and powerful investors with a stake in the AI build-out, such as billionaire hedge fund manager Stephen Mandel. Mandel’s investment firm Lone Pine Capital is heavily invested in the Taiwanese Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, the largest manufacturer of chips designed by Nvidia."

"OpenAI is throwing its support behind an Illinois state bill that would shield AI labs from liability in cases where AI models are used to cause serious societal harms, such as death or serious injury of 100 or more people or at least $1 billion in property damage.

The effort seems to mark a shift in OpenAI’s legislative strategy. Until now, OpenAI has largely played defense, opposing bills that could have made AI labs liable for their technology’s harms. Several AI policy experts tell WIRED that SB 3444—which could set a new standard for the industry—is a more extreme measure than bills OpenAI has supported in the past.

The bill, SB 3444, would shield frontier AI developers from liability for “critical harms” caused by their frontier models as long as they did not intentionally or recklessly cause such an incident, and have published safety, security, and transparency reports on their website. It defines frontier model as any AI model trained using more than $100 million in computational costs, which likely could apply to America’s largest AI labs like OpenAI, Google, xAI, Anthropic, and Meta."

AI regulation is becoming a major US midterm battleground. Anti-regulation groups plan to spend $225m and pro-regulation groups are raising $75m. The fight over AI guardrails is escalating fast👇

Florida's AG launched an investigation into OpenAI for safety failures the same week a federal court upheld Anthropic's Pentagon blacklisting for having safety guardrails. Meanwhile, OpenAI's own Pentagon contract includes similar restrictions but with different framing. With 250 state AI bills across 40+ states and zero federal laws, companies face contradictory signals where safety appears both mandatory and prohibited. #AIPolicy #AIRegulation #TechPolicy

플로리다가 OpenAI에 대한 조사를 시작했다. AI가 ‘존재적 위기’나 ‘인류의 최후’로 이어질 수 있다는 경고까지 제기되며, AI 안전성과 규제 필요성을 둘러싼 중요 정책 이슈로 부상했다.

Unregulated AI is the big issue for lobby money in the US. Move fast and destroy everything. Leave someone else to pick up the pieces.
