According to CoinMeta, Anthropic donated $40 million this year to a US policy organization AI. A few months later, two members of Congress who were preparing to advocate for this cause jointly requested an investigation into Jensen Huang. Anthropic donated $20 million each in February and July to support stricter AI safety regulations and chip export controls. On July 17th, Public First Action announced a donation of $15 million to support Republican members of Congress who advocate for strict AI regulations and to investigate the attitudes of conservative voters towards these policies. The members of Congress who planned to receive advertising support included Brian Mast and John Moolenaar. On November 4th, these two individuals jointly wrote to Jensen Huang along with the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Rick Crawford, requesting a closed-door hearing by Congress. On November 12th, Jensen Huang resigned, and on the same day, the three members of Congress sent another letter, demanding that NVIDIA and the US Department of Commerce provide explanations and calling on Congress to pass stricter chip export restriction legislation as soon as possible.
