但这两个行业在政治目标甚至党派上都缺乏共识，揭示了两个因内部冲突而动荡的快速演变行业。这并不完全是亿万富翁失控强加给国家的科技末日前兆。
But neither industry spends with consensus, on political objectives or even party, revealing two rapidly evolving industries roiled by internal conflict. That’s not exactly the harbinger of a tech apocalypse foisted on the country by billionaires gone rogue. Anthropic, for example, has advocated for regulating the industry at the state level and donated millions toward building public support for that approach.
例如，Anthropic一直主张在州层面监管该行业，并捐赠数百万美元以建立公众对该方法的支持。相反，顶级AI超级政治行动委员会“引领未来”是投资者和企业（如Perplexity）的先锋，他们推动美国总统唐纳德·特朗普和国会制定联邦法规，以取代任何州立法。该组织今年在近40场初选中部署了约3000万美元，支持民主党人和共和党人，自称战绩为38胜1负。而且他们的信息已针对特定竞选活动量身定制，而非策略师们承认无法打动选民的以AI为重点的宣传。
Conversely, top AI super PAC Leading the Future is the tip of the spear for investors and firms, like Perplexity, that are pushing U.S. President Donald Trump and Congress to enact federal regulations that would supersede any state legislation. The group has deployed roughly $30 million in nearly 40 primaries this year on behalf of both Democrats and Republicans, touting a record of 38-1. And their messaging has been tailored to specific campaigns, versus an AI-focused pitch that strategists acknowledge would be ineffective at moving voters.
