The AI industry is pouring millions into US elections

The AI industry is spending hundreds of millions of dollars to influence the outcome of US elections, according to a new podcast series called "Blood in the Machine: The Show" hosted by journalist Molly White. The inaugural episode focuses on tracking this political spending through White's project "Tech Influence Watch," which monitors how AI and crypto companies are using their financial resources to sway electoral outcomes. The show aims to document grassroots resistance movements against big tech's expanding influence, featuring voices of workers, activists, and journalists rather than industry advocates.
