White House Advances Industry-Friendly AI Policy Under David Sacks

During a recent forum, he strongly opposed Senator Bernie Sanders' proposal to ban new AI data centers, arguing such measures would severely damage economic expansion. While the administration emphasizes these economic benefits, some allies have warned that this approach could trigger political backlash.
