David Sacks urges pause and self-regulation of super-advanced AI
Technology
David Sacks, who heads the president's science and technology advisers, is urging big AI companies like OpenAI and Anthropic to hit pause on pushing out super-advanced AI too quickly.
He says it's better if these companies take responsibility themselves instead of waiting for government rules.
Sacks questions watchdogs' investor ties
Sacks also questioned whether some proposed watchdog groups are really independent, since they might be tied to investors.
He pointed out that slowing down could help companies avoid legal trouble and make their AI more reliable.
But he warned against using safety as an excuse for gaining a business edge.
