Within the U.S. White House, a fierce policy conflict is escalating over AI hegemony, revolving around deregulation and national security risks.

According to Cointelegraph, a cryptocurrency specialized media outlet, on September 17 (local time), the Donald Trump administration is facing serious internal division between officials and technology company executives regarding the direction of AI regulation.

Key Silicon Valley figures, including venture capitalist David Sacks, a former White House AI and crypto czar, and NVIDIA (NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang, are strongly advocating for minimal regulation that does not impede innovation. In contrast, White House and government security officials are warning of deadly cyberattacks and national security threats that uncontrolled AI technology could cause, demanding the establishment of strict safeguards.

President Trump has supported a relaxed, innovation-centric stance, dismissing concerns about robots taking over the world as fictional. Sacks also emphasized self-regulation by large AI research labs, warning that they would "face immense product liability if they cause truly destructive cyberattacks," but drew a line at artificial government intervention. CEO Huang also maintains that AI safety is an engineering challenge, not an area requiring excessive legal regulation.

However, Washington politicians and security officials are leveling criticism, arguing that realistic threats such as the paralysis of financial systems and critical infrastructure cannot be ignored, thus creating a sharp confrontation. As the struggle for power intensifies between the big tech faction aiming to maintain industry leadership and the national security faction seeking to prevent the spread of cyber terrorism, the global tech industry is closely watching the future policy direction of the Trump administration.
