Anthropic's $7M lobbying push for AI regulation draws parallels to Sam Bankman-Fried's crypto strategy, raising concerns about regulatory capture.

Anthropic has poured $40 million into a super PAC to push for AI regulation, sparking concerns about market manipulation and competition.

OpenAI adds Jessica Schumer, daughter of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, to lead Northeast policy and partnerships.

Anthropic, OpenAI, and Waymo spent a record $4.3M on lobbying in Q2 2026, with Anthropic alone doubling its 2025 budget.
