NY Democratic Primary Tests AI Regulation Divide

New York's 12th congressional district primary in Manhattan, replacing Rep. Jerry Nadler, has drawn over $40 million in outside spending. Assemblymember Alex Bores, a former Palantir data scientist, is running on a platform of AI accountability, including his RAISE Act and an AI Dividend program. The race has become a battleground for the AI industry's internal conflict over safety and regulation.
