Can the AI industry swing a congressional race in its favor? New York’s primaries appeared to deliver a sobering answer this week, when massive spending from an industry-funded group helped take down the tech-skeptical Alex Bores.
Or did it? Vox's Eric Levitz looked deeper into the narrow defeat of Bores — and the actual policy ideas of his rival — and found a much less rosy story for AI boosters.
Eric explains what made the Bores race a poor proxy for the larger AI fight, and what comes next for the tech right, which is facing an increasingly unfriendly national landscape.
