Anthropic has committed a further $20 million to Public First Action, a bipartisan US advocacy group promoting AI safeguards and transparency. The donation doubles Anthropic’s support for the group to $40 million, highlighting how AI companies are increasingly seeking to influence policy before the US midterm elections.

Public First Action campaigns on issues including disclosure of frontier-model risks and protections against AI-enabled cyberattacks and biological threats. Anthropic says the funding supports public education and policy advocacy, while the wider AI sector is expected to be among the major political spenders in the 2026 election cycle.
