Tomorrow Together Launches With $10 Million to Push Democrats on AI

1 articles · Updated · The New York Times · Sep 8

Summary

  • $10 million in initial funding will back Tomorrow Together, a new Democratic PAC targeting House midterm candidates in swing states over artificial-intelligence policy.
  • The group plans to support candidates who favor child-safety and data-privacy rules and limits on data-center construction, while also funding polling on voter concerns.
  • Founders Karthik Ganapathy and Rob Flaherty said Democrats have been too slow and too quiet on AI even as Republicans compete to own the issue.
  • Polling cited by the PAC shows broad bipartisan unease about AI's effects on jobs, energy costs, education, mental health and cybersecurity, with federal guardrails still lagging.
