""The AI Overwatch Act (H.R. 6875) may sound like a good idea, but when you examine it closely, it's pro-China sabotage disguised as oversight," Loomer said on X. "Kill the bill," she said. Driving the news: Sacks, the president's top adviser on crypto and artificial intelligence, opened hostilities Thursday night by retweeting a post that suggested Mast's bill - the AI OVERWATCH Act - would undermine the president. "Correct," Sacks posted on X."
"Mast fired back: "My job is not to be a yes-man to David Sacks or for [Nvidia CEO] Jensen Huang," Mast told Axios. "I will give the president the most sound advice that I can." "The Administration's critics are unintentionally promoting the interests of foreign competitors on U.S. entity lists--America should always want its industry to compete for vetted and approved commercial business, supporting real jobs for real Americans," Nvidia spokesperson John Rizzo told Axios."
""Brian Mast appears to be positioning himself as Huawei's Employee of the Month," a close White House ally told Axios, referencing the Chinese multinational that competes with Nvidia. "Does he really think it's a good idea to strip President Trump of his ability to conduct foreign policy and put it in the hands of whichever party is in control of Congress?" the ally asked. Mast made clear he's no fan of Huawei, telling Axios the chips are inferior."
A proposed bill, the AI Overwatch Act (H.R. 6875), prompted public accusations that it would amount to pro-China sabotage and calls to kill the measure. The president's top adviser on crypto and AI retweeted criticism, prompting Representative Brian Mast to reject being labeled a yes-man and to insist he will give sound advice to the president. Nvidia defended U.S. industry competition and jobs while a White House ally accused Mast of empowering foreign interests. Lawmakers debated at a House hearing whether selling advanced Nvidia chips to China would risk intellectual property theft.
