DC’s podcasts, policies and dignity at the surreal celebration of Trump’s AI action plan

And as the Trump administration announced its highly anticipated AI policy plan on Wednesday, it seemed appropriate that ceremonies and celebrations took the form of live podcasts in the country’s capital.

Trump’s AI Czar David Sacks shared the stage with the co-host of “All-in-Podcast” on Wednesday, walking through various elements of the new 28-page AI action plan and interviewed a rotating cast of guests including US vice president (and former venture capitalist) JD Vance, director of science and technology policy Michael Kratz, and JD Vance, including various technology industry Bigwigs, including various technology industry Bigwigs. nvidia CEO Jensen Fan.

Sitting on a gorgeous white chair, hosts of events (the self-descriptive “best” of podcasts) and guests, backed by American flags, patriotic music, flashy videos of huge data centers and factories, and guests, China, supply chain risks, health care, education, “giving the superpower of American workers”

Artificial intelligence “is not destroying jobs,” said David Friedberg, the host of the podcast and one of the venture capitalists. He said the media created a false narrative that ignored “ongoing immeasurable job creation.”

As Vice President Vance took the stage, hundreds of audiences rose to cheer. “We have the best hardware and software, but our edge is not something we can put in glory,” Vance said. “If we kill ourselves, we should blame our leaders.”

The AI Action Plan, which is at the heart of the debate, took office in January and was commissioned by Trump after immediately revoking the Biden administration’s executive order on AI safety. Ai Czar’s Sacks together with Sriram Krishan, former VC of Andreessen Horowitz, who is now a senior policy advisor to the White House, has written a report over the past six months. The report includes more than 90 policy recommendations to promote AI development and maintain the US advantage in highly competitive technologies.

Some of the report’s recommendations can take steps to loosen federal and state regulations, constrain the development of AI, increase the number of AI data centers and energy supply, power AI, promote the export of US-made technologies to countries with approved access to China, limit China’s access, and ensure the existence of ideology by the large language models used by the government.

The US must win the AI arms race, the event begins, Sachs said. “I can’t imagine the consequences of losing a race.”

According to Sacks, the AI report had three major pillars. Accelerating innovation. Building the US AI infrastructure. Leading international diplomacy and security.

VC Firm Craft Ventures invests in startups Sacks AirbnbReddit and defense startup Anduril said they didn’t expect Trump to go to the government until he appeared on the all-in-podcast. Sachs threw a Trump fundraiser at his San Francisco home in 2024.

At the event on Wednesday, the Neoclassical Andrew Mellon Auditorium Building in Washington, DC, President Franklin D. Roosevelt announced military conscription in 1940, and the North Atlantic Treaty was signed nine years later for a surreal exhibition of the Trump administration’s fusion of politics, policy and entertainment. And it emphasized to some extent that Silicon Valley leaders are enthusiastic about promoting good relations with the Trump administration. Other guest speakers for the event include Gmail creator Paul Buchheit, James Litisnky, CEO of Rare Earth Minerals Company MP Materials, and AMD CEO Lisa Su.

“We see this incredibly high demand with AI,” Su said, highlighting the company’s commitment to producing several chips in Arizona through the facility built by TSMC.

“Today’s AI action plan is a great blueprint,” Su said.
