Seven-figure blitz as GOP embraces push to compete with China in booming new tech space

FIRST ON FOX: Three sitting Republican lawmakers, all facing midterm elections for U.S.

Senate in less than two months, are paving the way for a pro-artificial intelligence push as Washington looks to balance regulation with American innovation despite the public's increasing skepticism over the emerging technology.

The conservative Alliance for a Better Future (ABF) is pouring millions into backing the campaigns of Sen.

Susan Collins, R-Maine, Sen.

Roger Marshall, R-Kan., and Rep.

Ashley Hinson, R-Iowa, according to new ads shared exclusively with Fox News Digital ahead of their release.

The lawmakers, ABF says, mirror President Donald Trump's balanced stance on applying both safeguards and common sense to AI developments.

When speaking on the topic in June, Trump said, "[AI] can be used for tremendous good, mostly good and some bad.

And the bad we have to stop." TRUMP-BACKED CANDIDATES SCORE MAJOR BOOST FROM DEEP-POCKETED AI SUPER PAC IN UPCOMING PRIMARIES The advertisements come as Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei over the weekend warned the industry that his company helps lead to give safety measures more time to catch up with rapidly advancing AI capabilities.

Just days earlier an Anthropic researcher resigned while publicly raising concerns about the technology's risks.

Anthropic is most known for its LLM AI Claude, one of the leading chatbots in the U.S.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, the father of ChatGPT, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis all expressed support for Amodei’s stance on slowing the pace of AI development.

Trump on Monday rejected the calls for implementing safeguards and restrictions on AI, arguing the technology needs a "STRONG AND SMART" president rather than added restraints.

The new advertisements, which will run throughout September, follow the ABF's previously unreported $1 million donation made to MAGA Inc. last week to promote candidates who share the group's values of pushing both innovation and security in emerging technologies like AI.
