A political fundraising group supporting the Trump administration's artificial intelligence (AI) policy has newly emerged ahead of the U.S. midterm elections in November.

The non-profit organization, "Innovation Council Action," plans to inject over $100 million (approximately 150 billion won) in political funds into this year's elections by supporting the Trump administration's agenda of AI deregulation and early infrastructure construction, according to the U.S. online media Axios on the 29th (local time).

On its website, the organization explains that it is guided by President Trump's 'AI Action Plan,' announced in July last year, and the White House's national policy framework.

The group, which opened an office in Washington D.C. and quietly began fundraising last year, has created scorecards evaluating lawmakers on their level of support for Trump's AI policies, and based on these, it determines which candidates to support or oppose.

The organization is led by Taylor Budowich, former Deputy Assistant to the President and White House Director of Communications, who also led "MAGA," a Super PAC (Super Political Action Committee) that raised campaign funds for Trump, and the non-profit "Saving America."

It also receives support from David Sack, co-chair of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, who served as the Trump administration's 'AI Czar.'

Sack stated, "Innovation Council Action will play a pivotal role in advancing the innovation agenda led by President Trump and the current administration. We welcome the committee's support at this critical juncture."

Unlike other Super PACs, this organization is classified as a non-profit and is not obligated to disclose its list of donors. In U.S. elections, political funds flowing through such non-profit organizations are referred to as 'dark money.'

In addition to this, the U.S. tech industry has another Super PAC, "Leading the Future," which supports President Trump's AI deregulation efforts.

However, this Super PAC, which has raised $125 million (approximately 190 billion won) with support from figures like Greg Brockman, President of OpenAI, and Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), has drawn concern from the White House for seeking bipartisan support that includes not only Republican but also Democratic candidates, NBC reported.

The fact that Josh Blanck, one of the executives leading Leading the Future, is a former aide to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) also appears to have influenced this distance.

Meta has also launched two Super PACs, "Forge the Future," which supports Republicans, and "Making Our Tomorrow," which supports Democrats, investing $65 million (approximately 98 billion won) to prevent sporadic AI regulations.

Furthermore, Anthropic, recently designated as a "supply chain risk" company by the U.S. Department of Defense and currently in litigation with the government, donated $20 million (approximately 30 billion won) last month to "Public First Action," which calls for stricter AI regulations.
