OpenAI president pulls support from major AI super PAC
Greg Brockman, president of OpenAI, has halted further donations to Leading the Future, a political action committee supporting pro-AI candidates in US elections. Brockman and his wife had promised $50 million, but after giving $25 million, he's backing out, citing public backlash and internal pushback at OpenAI. The super PAC has become controversial for its hardline pro-AI stance and significant campaign spending.
- Brockman pledged $50M, donated $25M, now stopping further funding
- Public backlash has made PAC support politically toxic
- Internal OpenAI dissent grew over Brockman's involvement
- Other OpenAI staff donated to a rival anti-PAC group
