  • A skeptical take on Vance’s AI agenda
    Feb 13 2025
    Vice President JD Vance laid out an “America First” vision for artificial intelligence at the AI Action Summit in Paris earlier this week. He told world leaders and tech executives that the Trump administration will focus on building AI, not “handwringing” over safety.

On POLITICO Tech, host Steven Overly called Nelson in Paris to get her reaction. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
