This marks the first time in history that hundreds of organizations are simultaneously seeking to influence governance over an artificial intelligence system that claims universal capability ('do everything better'). The scale (500+ organizations) and explicit aim for government partnership rather than regulation represents an unprecedented consolidation of technological control.
500+ Groups Lobby US on AI: Digital Babel Rising in DC
📰 What Happened
In early 2025, over 500 organizations are actively lobbying Congress and the White House on AI policy, double the number from 2023. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman addressed the Federal Reserve, declaring AI will 'do everything better.' The surge in lobbying reflects Big Tech's growing influence, with OpenAI alone spending $380,000 on lobbying since 2023. DLA Piper's Tony Samp notes the US government's unique position as both a major customer and technology validator.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The convergence of 500+ organizations lobbying for AI control aligns with Daniel's vision of a final kingdom partly of iron and partly of clay (Daniel 2:41-43). The technology's claimed ability to 'do everything better' mirrors the image-speaking capabilities described in Revelation 13:15. Sam Altman's presentation to the Federal Reserve suggests AI's integration into global financial systems, enabling the economic control prophesied in Revelation 13:17. This unprecedented merger of corporate influence (500 organizations), government power, and universal AI capability creates the technological infrastructure for prophesied end-times control systems.
