Super PAC (Independent Expenditure-Only)UnauthorizedID: C00930503Registered December 12, 2025Part of the Public First network
Public First is the lead super PAC of the Public First network, which claims to push for stronger AI regulation and safety guardrails, founded in response to the Leading the Future network. It is funded chiefly by the AI company Anthropic. Despite its claims about “AI safety” and the public interest, critics have suggested that Anthropic is simply pushing policies that would benefit its business.
