Former Trump AI czar David Sacks blamed public alarm around risks that artificial intelligence may post to human existence on a public fearmongering campaign.
He praised Donald Trump’s approach to the issue, saying at POLITICO’s Decoded Summit in Washington that the president “is unique in his ability as a leader to basically say, ‘No, this is not true. This is a hoax.’ And this actually creates the space to then dissect the narrative and find out all the ways in which it is flawed.”
Trump wrote Monday on Truth Social, “AI taking over the World, destroying Humanity, and all other things bad, is a HOAX, no different from RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA — UKRAINE, UKRAINE, UKRAINE — IMPEACHMENT HOAX #1 — IMPEACHMENT HOAX #2 — and all of the other HOAXES and SCAMS that America was forced to endure.”
