OpenAI, Anthropic, and Nvidia Report Record Quarterly Lobbying Expenditures
Leading artificial intelligence firms OpenAI, Anthropic, and Nvidia recorded their highest-ever quarterly lobbying expenditures between July and September. Collectively, these three companies spent nearly $6 million to influence policy regarding cybersecurity, AI safety oversight, export controls, and energy costs for data centers. Nvidia led the group with $2.2 million in spending, followed closely by Anthropic at $2.1 million and OpenAI at $1.5 million. This surge in activity coincides with increased federal scrutiny and high-level engagement between tech CEOs and the White House. The lobbying efforts come as companies prepare for potential regulatory shifts following midterm elections and the establishment of new federal AI oversight task forces.
