Backed by Anthropic, a Super PAC begins an ad blitz in support of AI regulation

A new ad campaign on Monday warned northern New Jersey residents that Congress could leave them vulnerable to harm by artificial intelligence.

The ad, which opens with photos of AI-generated women smiling on social media alongside AI-generated headlines, urged voters to tell their House representative to vote against a bill that would block states from creating protections against AI scams.

“He can make sure AI serves us, not the other way around,” the ad said of Josh Gottheimer, the Democratic co-chair of the House’s new AI commission, which is expected to heavily influence legislation on the topic. “New Jersey families come before Big Tech’s bottom line.”
