OpenAI employees have donated more than $215,000 to a political effort opposing Leading the Future, a group backed by OpenAI president Greg Brockman, according to WIRED. The rival effort, Guardrails Alliance, reflects internal divisions over how AI policy should be shaped.
The donations show that AI governance fights are not only happening between companies and regulators. They are also emerging inside AI labs, where employees may disagree with leadership about political strategy, safety rules, and industry influence.
