White is extending her crypto transparency infrastructure into AI lobbying, applying the same itemized spending methodology to an industry that has spent billions on policy capture with far less public accounting than crypto faced.

Crypto created the surveillance tools and political transparency norms that other industries now inherit whether they like it or not.
