Joseph Hoefer spoke with Bloomberg Government about spending on federal AI influence hitting an all-time high in 2025.
“In a midterm year, the incentive structure shifts,” said Joseph Hoefer, chief AI officer at Monument Advocacy. “There’s less appetite to move sweeping legislation that could hand the other side a perceived victory, and more emphasis on oversight, messaging and targeted action that plays well back home. That doesn’t mean AI falls off the agenda, but it does mean the conversation becomes more politically calibrated.”
