Artificial Intelligence Policy and Politics

David Sacks will continue to wield significant influence over the Trump administration’s AI agenda as co‑chair of the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, retaining direct access to the president despite stepping back from day‑to‑day White House duties and loosening special‑employee conflict and days‑worked limits. At the same time, Sacks and other Trump allies are backing a new pro‑AI political push planning roughly $100 million in midterm spending, while a separate Alliance for a Better Future coalition has formed to run its own eight‑figure ad and education campaign focused on child and worker safeguards as a counterweight to deregulatory, Big Tech‑aligned groups.
