Trump adviser Sacks says AI fears driven by fear-mongering playbook

WASHINGTON, Sept 16 – U.S. President Donald Trump’s outside tech adviser David Sacks on Wednesday argued that public concerns about AI are being driven by advocacy campaigns and media coverage, echoing Trump’s comments earlier this week dismissing calls for new AI regulation.

“We’ve seen this playbook, this fear-mongering playbook, over and over again,” Sacks said, referring to concerns about AI’s impact on U.S. society.
