What they ask for — in their own terms
Shift public opinion toward AI deregulation and a federal framework pre-empting state laws.
What they do
The advocacy/dark-money arm of Leading the Future, led by Nathan Leamer; runs paid public-opinion campaigns. Reported to deliberately steer debate away from technical safety questions.
What a newcomer can do
Nothing to join. If you see AI ads in your area, check whether they are Build American AI's before assuming they are grassroots.
Worth knowing
