Top White House AI adviser pushes back on AI leaders calling for safeguards: "Not acceptable"

David Sacks, co-chair of President Trump's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, rejected calls from AI leaders for increased regulation and safeguards. In an exclusive interview with Jo Ling Kent, Sacks dismissed warnings that AI could destroy humanity, labeling such claims unacceptable.
