The Washington Post published an investigation showing that AI safety activists, backed by billionaire funders, have significantly expanded lobbying on Capitol Hill, with groups like ControlAI conducting hundreds of meetings with lawmakers, resulting in members of both major parties now discussing AI-driven human extinction.

“Activists spent years cultivating allies on Capitol Hill. Now lawmakers in both major parties are discussing extinction.”
