Scoop: Vance to headline tech summit in D.C.
Briefly

Vice President Vance will speak at the American Dynamism Summit, emphasizing the necessity of minimal regulation in the artificial intelligence sector. His role as a former venture capitalist connects him deeply with Silicon Valley, reflecting a shift in federal policy where tech influences rival Wall Street. Following his appointment, Vance helped advocate for several tech-oriented positions within the Trump administration, aimed at fostering innovation rather than regulation. This alignment with Silicon Valley executives suggests a collaborative effort to secure U.S. leadership in advanced computing and technology development.
"Excessive regulation of the AI sector could kill a transformative industry," Vance warned Europeans in a speech earlier this month.
Tech sector venture capitalists successfully advocated for Vance to become Trump's running mate last year. They helped fuel Trump's campaign with millions.
A lot of founders and investors in Silicon Valley have a deep skepticism about Big Tech... They want to innovate and create, rather than censor and consolidate."
The president shares that view. So does the vice president, who has a strong personal network in that world going back to his business career.
