On April 3, 2026, Anthropic PBC, a U.S. artificial intelligence company, announced the establishment of a corporate political action committee (PAC) named 'AnthroPAC.' The funding for the committee comes entirely from voluntary employee donations, with an annual contribution cap of $5,000 per employee. The committee will be managed by a bipartisan board of directors, and its financial flows and supported candidates will be publicly disclosed through the U.S. Federal Election Commission (FEC). AnthroPAC plans to support federal candidates from both the Democratic and Republican parties, with a focus on legislators involved in AI policy formulation. This move comes amid heightened policy discussions in the U.S. regarding AI regulation, with tech companies increasingly active in policy activities in Washington. Previously, Anthropic had donated approximately $20 million to the bipartisan advocacy organization Public Action First to promote policy initiatives related to AI safety and transparency.
