[David Sacks Criticizes Using Regulation to Create FUD and Suppress Open-Source AI Competition] David Sacks, co-chair of the U.S. President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, reposted and responded to OpenAI's Strategic Futures Director Dean W. Ball's views on Chinese open-source AI models. Sacks stated that if the government deliberately creates uncertainty (FUD) by issuing regulatory guidelines lacking sufficient basis to force regulated companies to abandon the use of Chinese open-source models, it would undermine the rule of law and set a dangerous precedent for future regulatory abuse. Sacks emphasized that regulatory decisions should be based on facts, logic, and evidence, rather than intentionally amplifying fear and uncertainty. He also pointed out that current AI policy has entered a critical stage, with leading closed-source model companies attempting to leverage government power to weaken open-source competition. He called on Silicon Valley to support open competition.
