David Sacks talks AI 'fearmongering', Trump administration's policy approach and more

David Sacks, former Trump AI czar and co-chair of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, says that growing fears about artificial intelligence are being driven by a “fear-mongering playbook." In an interview with Dasha Burns at POLITICO's Decoded Summit, Sacks argues that AI developers should be responsible for ensuring their products are safe -- and could be held liable if those systems cause harm. He also pushes back on calls for new federal regulations, saying the U.S. already has laws to address risks including fraud, privacy violations and cybersecurity threats. ----------------------------------------- Subscribe to our channel! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgjtvMmHXbutALaw9XzRkAg?view_as=subscriber Check out our video catalog: https://www.politico.com/video Follow POLITICO here: ➤ X: https://x.com/politico/ ➤ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/politico/ ➤ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/politico/
