Alex Bores, a former Palantir data‑scientist and New York State Assembly member who helped pass the RAISE Act—one of the nation’s first AI‑regulation bills—is running for Congress in Manhattan’s 12th district, and his candidacy has drawn a coordinated assault funded by a super‑PAC called “Leading the Future.” The PAC, whose major donors include OpenAI co‑founders Greg Brockman and Andreessen Horowitz, as well as Palantir co‑founder Joe Lonsdale, is dedicated to blocking any legislation that could curb the tech industry, and it has spent millions to portray Bores as an “ICE tech” ally despite his record of progressive labor activism, union‑rooted politics, and efforts to embed safety plans, public‑sector data integration, and an “AI dividend” into state policy. Bores argues that AI’s rapid advance demands bipartisan, thoughtful regulation—covering safety testing, third‑party audits, data‑center impacts, and protections for workers and children—rather than the industry‑driven push to “let it rip,” and he warns that the super‑PAC’s campaign aims to silence regulatory voices by making an example of him, hoping to deter future lawmakers from confronting AI’s risks.
