Meta to spend tens of millions on pro-AI super PAC

Meta, the parent company of Facebook, has announced plans to establish a pro-AI super PAC (Political Action Committee) that will spend tens of millions of dollars to advocate for the development and adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. This move signals Meta's intention to influence statewide elections, including the next governor's race in 2026. The super PAC will focus on promoting the benefits of AI and addressing concerns about its potential impact on jobs and privacy. It will also aim to shape policy and regulatory frameworks surrounding AI technology. The decision comes as Meta faces increasing scrutiny over its market dominance and the potential societal impact of its platforms. By investing in a pro-AI super PAC, the company is seeking to shape the public discourse and political landscape in a way that aligns with its business interests. While the exact details of the super PAC's activities and funding sources are yet to be revealed, the move highlights the growing influence of tech giants in the political arena and their efforts to shape the future of emerging technologies like AI.
