OpenAI President and co-founder Greg Brockman and his wife, Anna, have decided not to proceed with a planned second $25 million donation to Leading the Future, a super PAC supporting pro-artificial-intelligence policies. The couple donated $25 million in September 2025, while the additional payment had been expected in the first quarter of 2026; no payment was made in the first or second quarter. Brockman told OpenAI employees in June that he had no plans for further contributions and said the PAC’s continued association with the company had become a distraction. OpenAI separately said it does not direct the group or have visibility into its operations, and that no outside political organization speaks for the company. The episode adds to scrutiny of AI lobbying, regulation and safety as Brockman maintains ties with President Donald Trump’s administration.
