Leading the Future, a major pro-AI political action committee, ended the US midterms with more than $20 million left from a roughly $100 million war chest, Wired reports. The report says the group focused on safer bipartisan candidates, while its riskier bets fell flat.

That offers a sharper picture than the headline spending totals alone: a large fund did not mean every planned political bet paid off. The reported outcome also raises a question about how much influence campaign money can buy when voters and races do not follow the script.

Discuss: What should count as political influence for AI groups: money spent, candidates elected, or policies changed?
