Inside David Sacks’ new role shaping Trump’s AI agenda

(Maria Curi, Ashley Gold – Axios) David Sacks’ influence as President Trump’s chief AI architect will continue from his perch outside the White House, according to officials — but some close to the administration say it’s welcome distance as voters’ fears about AI grow. It keeps a powerful Silicon Valley voice at the center of Trump’s AI circle without the government ethics constraints that come with serving inside government. The move lands as Republicans grow increasingly wary of an all-in attitude on AI development and begin to question the White House strategy that has often followed Sacks’ lead. White House officials tell Axios that Sacks will continue to wield significant influence as co-chair of the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, with a broader remit across tech policy. – Inside David Sacks’ new role shaping Trump’s AI agenda
