Former White House AI and crypto czar David Sacks warned that proposed AI safety standards could evolve into regulations that disadvantage open models, while Chamath Palihapitiya cautioned that excessive restrictions could drive investment and capital outside the U.S.
Sacks Warns Open AI Models Face Regulation
On Friday, speaking on the All-In Podcast, Sacks argued that AI regulation could begin with a self-regulatory organization and eventually become mandatory.
It’s a "Trojan horse of a FINRA for AI," he said, warning that voluntary standards and pre-release testing could eventually be codified into law.
Sacks said regulators could then require the same safety standards for open and closed models, despite their technological differences.
