Meta launches political action committee to influence tech policy

0

Meta, Facebook’s parent company, has announced the launch of a political action committee aimed at addressing AI and tech policy bills from state politicians across the nation.

Meta plans to invest tens of millions of dollars into this initiative. The company expressed concern that state-level tech policy proposals could impact the US’s standing in the AI race with China.

Previously, Meta announced a super PAC called Meta California, which focused solely on AI policy proposals within California.

Meta’s new initiative will examine tech policies in Washington, Idaho, Wyoming and Montana to assess potential impacts.

More updates will be provided as the situation develops.
