Meta has launched the American Technology Excellence Project, a super PAC investing tens of millions to fight state-level AI regulations.
Key points:
Bipartisan leadership: Brian Baker (Republican) + Hilltop Public Solutions (Democrat)
Focus on protecting AI progress & parental controls
Comes as 1,000+ AI-related bills were introduced across all 50 states in 2025
California bills under review: SB 243 (AI chatbot protections for minors) & SB 53 (AI transparency standards)
Other tech giants like OpenAI & Andreessen Horowitz are also backing PACs against AI rules
Meta says it wants to keep U.S. tech leadership strong, but critics see it as Big Tech resisting oversight.
Do you think PACs like this protect innovation—or put profits over safety?
