The AI Safety Alliance, a coalition of technology companies and researchers, launched a six-figure lobbying campaign in Washington on June 30, 2025, aimed at shaping federal AI regulation as Congress debated the One Big Beautiful Bill AI provisions. The alliance targeted both the Senate moratorium on state AI laws and separate federal AI safety standards legislation. The campaign represented a major escalation of tech industry influence over AI governance.
