AI: David Sacks warns about "Big Brother" style surveillance, not rogue robots.

David Sacks, the head of cryptocurrency and AI policy at the White House, warned that the biggest threat of artificial intelligence is not “rebellious robots” but the risk of creating a “Big Brother” style surveillance system. He argued that AI could be used to follow citizens, manipulate information, and control thought, calling it “Orwellian AI.”

Sacks criticized the Biden administration and states led by the Democratic Party for imposing overly strict regulations that stifle innovation and create political bias. He stated that the Trump administration would choose a lighter approach, encouraging AI innovation while still setting clear rules for cryptocurrency. As states like California tighten laws on AI, Sacks' warning highlights the divide between technological innovation and state control in America's digital future.
