In the AI political universe, Zac Moffatt and Josh Vlasto are at the helm of the Death Star.
As the top political operatives at Leading the Future, they oversee a network of pro-AI industry super PACs and nonprofits that friends and foes alike describe as an aggressive, well-funded machine attempting to obliterate their opponents much like the Star Wars superweapon.
Their goal: to defeat candidates who support the strictest AI regulations and champion those who want to unleash the development of the industry. The PAC launched with over $100 million in the bank from some of Silicon Valley’s biggest names, including $25 million checks from a16z’s co-founder Marc Andreessen and OpenAI’s president Greg Brockman.
