Trump’s tech advisors cautious about AI

President-elect Donald Trump has enlisted Silicon Valley figures like Elon Musk, Marc Andreessen, and David Sacks as tech advisors.

A key focus is AI censorship, which involves moderating AI-generated responses that may be adjusted to fit specific political views or corporate interests.

Critics argue this practice can suppress a range of perspectives, echoing earlier concerns about tech companies’ content moderation on social media and digital platforms.

Andreessen, co-founder of the venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, warns that AI could threaten free speech more than earlier tech platforms.

Sacks, the former COO of PayPal and a current tech entrepreneur, has accused firms like Google and OpenAI of embedding partisan biases in their tools.
