- David Sacks defended the Trump administration’s executive order on artificial intelligence.
- The order outlines federal policy for AI oversight and development in the US.
Trump’s AI and crypto czar David Sacks defended the administration’s executive order on artificial intelligence, saying the US risks losing its lead over China unless it adopts a unified national regulatory framework.
Speaking on Fox Business’ “Mornings with Maria” this morning, he said the US is ahead in the AI race, but China remains highly competitive, and American innovators could fall behind if forced to comply with a patchwork of conflicting AI rules emerging across all 50 states.
Until a national standard is in place, Sacks said the administration is prepared to push back against what it sees as excessively restrictive state regulations.
Trump on Thursday signed a new executive order, titled “Ensuring National Policy for Artificial Intelligence,” to counter state AI laws that alter truthful model outputs, restrict innovation, or interfere with interstate commerce, while advancing a unified national AI policy.
The order is facing bipartisan blowback, as critics warn it amplifies threats from AI chatbots, surveillance tools, and systemic bias. Alarm is rising even among some conservative voices.
