Jerrold Nadler after three decades in Congress.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s an early signal of a broader shift: while AI won\u2019t determine every race in the upcoming midterms, it <em>is<\/em> emerging as a potent new pressure point in American politics, particularly as deep-pocketed Silicon Valley interests begin injecting themselves into local contests from afar.<\/p>\n<p>Bores is the chief sponsor of New York\u2019s RAISE Act, which would require large AI labs to create and follow safety plans designed to prevent critical harms; disclose serious safety incidents, such as the theft of an AI model; and avoid releasing systems that pose \u201cunreasonable\u201d risks. Companies that fail to comply could face civil penalties of up to $30 million. The legislation\u2014similar to a California\u2019s SB-1047, a bill vetoed by California Governor Gavin Newsom last year\u2014awaits Governor Kathy Hochul\u2019s signature and has attracted support from AI safety advocates, policy groups, and prominent researchers including AI \u201cgodfathers\u201d Yoshua Bengio and Geoffrey Hinton.<\/p>\n<p>But many AI researchers, engineers, founders, and major tech investors see both the California bill and the RAISE Act as imposing vague, overly burdensome requirements that could be unworkable in practice \u2014especially for startups.<\/p>\n<p>Josh Vlasto, co-head of Leading the Future and a spokesperson for Fairshake, the $141 million crypto-aligned super PAC, told me that Bores \u201chas championed a piece of legislation that would contribute to a national patchwork that is not workable and has not engaged productively with the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bores, for his part, is leaning into the role of combatant after learning he would be the PAC\u2019s first target. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t surprise me,\u201d he said. \u201cThey said they were going to target four states \u2014 California, Ohio, Illinois and New York \u2014 so I kind of figured who they were thinking about in New York.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He dismissed opposition to the RAISE Act as \u201can extremely loud minority that has decided to yell over the broad majority support by spending hundreds of millions of dollars,\u201d because they don\u2019t believe there should be regulation on AI, though he stressed the bill is not a partisan flashpoint. \u201cThe RAISE Act passed in New York with every single Republican state senator voting for it, and a majority of the Republican state assembly members voting for it, including a number who co-sponsored it,\u201d he said. \u201cRepublicans like Sarah Lightner in Michigan have introduced similar bills, and we conducted a poll that found 84% of New Yorkers supported the bill. There is strong bipartisan support for lightweight, reasonable regulations to keep people safe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Leading the Future, however, rejects the idea that it is opposed to regulation. \u201cIt\u2019s not true that Leading the Future is anti-regulation,\u201d Vlasto said. \u201cThe idea [that] we are trying to stop Congress from acting is just wrong, and we have been clear about it since our launch in August.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He argued that AI safety advocates have long enjoyed a structural advantage. \u201cThe other side has spent billions over the past decade investing in political organizations and think tanks,\u201d he added. He pointed to groups like Open Philanthropy, a grant-making organization funded largely by Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz and his wife, Cari Tuna. It grew out of the Effective Altruism (EA) movement, whose donors focus on areas they view as high-impact but under-resourced \u2014 including global health, biosecurity, and long-term or \u201cexistential\u201d risks from advanced AI. <\/p>\n<p>Vlasto would not comment on whether Leading the Future will be targeting Democratic California State Senator Scott Wiener, who co-sponsored California\u2019s SB-1047 bill and is now running to fill Nancy Pelosi\u2019s vacant Congressional seat. But with Silicon Valley money flowing in and rising debates over AI regulation, it\u2019s clear this first strike won\u2019t be the last.<\/p>\n<p>With that, here\u2019s more AI news.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sharon Goldman<\/strong><br \/><a aria-label=\"Go to mailto:sharon.goldman@fortune.com\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/fortune.com\/2025\/11\/18\/ai-politics-breaks-into-a-new-york-congressional-race-and-signals-more-fights-to-come\/mailto:sharon.goldman@fortune.com\">sharon.goldman@fortune.com<\/a><br \/><a aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/x.com\/sharongoldman\" class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/sharongoldman\">@sharongoldman<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>If you want to learn more about how AI can help your company to succeed and hear from industry leaders on where this technology is heading, I hope you\u2019ll consider joining Jeremy and I at Fortune Brainstorm AI San Francisco on Dec. 8\u20139.

Designed as a \u201cthird way\u201d between academia and startups, Episteme will give top scientists generous pay, resources, ownership, and freedom from grant writing and short-term commercial pressures while surrounding them with support staff to help turn breakthrough ideas into real products. Starting with 15 researchers across fields like AI, energy, materials, and neuroscience, the project hopes to counter declining U.S. scientific investment, growing bureaucracy, and competition from China by creating a long-term, idealistic environment where risky, high-impact research can thrive\u2014though, like similar billionaire-funded labs, it still faces questions about sustainability and investor patience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Japanese AI darling Sakana AI raises $135 million at $2.65 billion valuation.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight:400\"> The global race to develop large language models, led by U.S. giants is being challenged by specialized startups like Tokyo-based Sakana AI, which <\/span><a aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2025\/11\/17\/sakana-ai-raises-135m-series-b-at-a-2-65b-valuation-to-continue-building-ai-models-for-japan\/\" class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2025\/11\/17\/sakana-ai-raises-135m-series-b-at-a-2-65b-valuation-to-continue-building-ai-models-for-japan\/\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">TechCrunch reported<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight:400\"> recently closed a \u00a520 billion (approximately $135 million) Series B funding round, valuing the company at $2.65 billion.

The funding round, which included Japanese financial firms like MUFG and global investors such as Khosla Ventures and NEA, will be deployed for further R&amp;D, model development, and expanding the engineering, sales, and distribution workforce in Japan, as the company builds on existing partnerships with local enterprises and plans to expand its enterprise business into the industrial, manufacturing, and government sectors by 2026.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>EYE ON AI RESEARCH<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"201\" data-end=\"568\"><strong>An AI system takes a gold medal in physics.<\/strong>\u00a0A new research paper <a aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/www.alphaxiv.org\/abs\/2511.13612\" class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.alphaxiv.org\/abs\/2511.13612\">claims<\/a> that an open-source AI system has reached gold-medal performance on the world\u2019s hardest high-school physics competition \u2014 the International Physics Olympiad. Countries send their absolute best teenage physics students to this contest, and the questions are so challenging that even many PhDs struggle with them.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"570\" data-end=\"671\">The researchers built a system called P1, which is a combination of a large language model trained on science-heavy data; a reinforcement learning process that teaches the model to reason step-by-step; and an \u201cagentic\u201d setup that lets the model break problems apart, try multiple solution approaches, check itself, and refine its answers \u2014 similar to how a human would tackle Olympiad puzzles<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1043\" data-end=\"1180\">Using this setup, the AI solved past Physics Olympiad problems at a level that would earn a gold medal if it were a human competitor. It&#8217;s one of the clearest signs yet that AI is not just getting better at language and coding \u2014 it\u2019s now beginning to reach elite levels of scientific reasoning.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1885\" data-end=\"2152\">However, don&#8217;t throw away your physics textbooks just yet. The research simply means AI systems can reliably work through extremely difficult problems that require deep conceptual thinking, careful math, and multi-step logic \u2014 something out of reach just a year or two ago.<\/p>\n<h3>AI CALENDAR<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Nov. 19:<\/strong> Nvidia third quarter earnings<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nov. 26-27:\u00a0<\/strong>World AI Congress, London.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dec. 2-7:<\/strong>\u00a0NeurIPS, San Diego<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dec. 8-9:\u00a0<\/strong>Fortune Brainstorm\u00a0<span class=\"gmail-il\">AI<\/span>\u00a0San Francisco.
