- Why Elon Musk’s Friend Thinks He’s Wrong About AI
What happens when you combine artificial intelligence with deadly weapons? That’s one of the pressing issues facing David Sacks, special adviser to President Donald Trump on all things AI. And as we see the rapid expansion and adoption of artificial intelligence — not to mention a growing anxiety over its potential for wreaking dystopian level havoc — Sacks is playing a key role in shaping White House policy around the burgeoning technology. Like his close friend, Elon Musk, Sacks was born in South Africa. He made a name for himself as a venture capitalist and a Silicon Valley veteran before Trump tapped him to serve as White House A.I. & Crypto Czar right after the 2024 election. (In March, Sacks transitioned to serve as co-chair of the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology.) So given his background, it’s not surprising that when it comes to regulating AI, Sacks favors a “let them cook” approach. He’s convinced the way for the United States to win the global AI race is to move fast with minimally disruptive regulation. But with that approach comes a lot of questions about disruption to the workforce, lawsuits around problems AI has created, increased energy grid demands, all set to the backdrop of public fears around AI — and even Musk, an estranged co-founder of OpenAI, has expressed grave concerns about its potential dangers. But Sacks is an AI optimist. Yes, he says, there are potential threats — threats industry leaders are already working to eradicate. Over-regulating AI would put the U.S. at a serious disadvantage in the global marketplace “AI,” Sacks says, “is going to solve the problem that AI creates.”This interview has been edited for length and clarity. AI is a huge priority for the White House, and you have been the guy that has been helping build out the framework, setting the agenda of how the U.S. should really handle this. I want to start with that White House AI regulatory framework. It has these legislative recommendations guided by a vision of “permissionless innovation” and “minimally burdensome regulation.” Why do you think that a technology this powerful, this disruptive should be left mostly in the hands of private companies to control. Why the “let them cook” philosophy, as you call it? Well, I think the first thing to recognize is that we are in a globally competitive environment. We’re not the only… [TheTopNews] Read More.4 weeks ago - Oil Prices Rise With No Sign Of An End To Iran War

OTTAWA — The video playing was clearly Pete Hoekstra, the frequently combative U.S. ambassador to Canada. But something was off. He kept referring to Canada as a partner? “For all of the critical things that we need, Canada would be an ideal partner,” Hoekstra said in a prerecorded conversation at a conservative think tank in March. Hoekstra ticked off the ways the two countries could work together: deepened military cooperation in the Arctic, including through Trump’s “Golden Dome”; beefed-up energy cooperation on oil and gas, critical minerals and uranium; coordinating on artificial intelligence. At one point, he even cited the George W. Bush-era rhetoric of building a “fortress North America.” It was a detour from theacerbic,angry andhighly undiplomatic tone that Canadians had grown accustomed to from President Donald Trump’s man in Ottawa. The same man who wrote to The Globe and Maildemanding an apology for a column criticizing U.S. Olympic hockey players. The same man who reamed out a Canadian trade official with anexpletive-laden tirade at a high-profile gala. Yet here was Hoekstra, seemingly offering a helpful roadmap for exactly how Canada can partner with — and essentially survive — the United States under Trump. “I don’t do ‘diplomatic speak’ very well,” Hoekstra said in a wide-ranging interview Thursday. “I think when they listen to what I have to say, they know exactly what my viewpoint is. And they may disagree with it, but at least they understand where I’m coming from and where the United States of America is coming from.”Now one year into his job in the top diplomatic post, Hoekstra’s relationship with his Canadian hosts remains chilly. But it also seems as if both sides have at least begun to understand each other a bit more, with a pragmatic acceptance of their new realities. “Pay attention to Pete Hoekstra,” said a Canadian official familiar with Canada-U.S. trade negotiations. “I know he’s easy to hate and vilify, but some of the shit he says is channeling what the administration wants.” This official, like several others in this story, was granted anonymity to speak candidly about a delicate relationship. Hoekstra also may have come to realize that he’s had some challenges getting his message out to a skeptical population. In addition to the relative olive branch in his remarks calling Canada a partner, he’s been venturing out to meet people across the nation’s provinces, including vocal critics.
