Tech: Anthropic-backed group puts more toward Wiener

An artificial intelligence policy group backed by Anthropic has put another $3 million in outside spending behind Democratic California state Sen.

Public First Action’s contribution is a significant increase from the $500,000 that the safety group gave to a super PAC backing Wiener earlier this year.
