To say the White House is 'keen' for the USA to be at the forefront of all things AI on the global stage is perhaps a bit of an understatement. Arguably, it's been an AI feeding frenzy since day one of the current administration, and yet there are still calls for a further relaxing of AI regulation.
Earlier this week at the AWS summit in Washington, Trump's AI czar David Sacks minimised the need for regulation of American-made AI chips amid fears they could be smuggled to bad actors (via Reuters). In response to a number of states' attempts to both regulate AI and challenge the building of new data centres, Sacks said, "I do worry we're on a trajectory where fear could overtake opportunity and we end up sort of crippling this wonderful progress that we’re seeing."
