David Sacks on Universal Basic Income
David Sacks, President Trump’s AI policy advisor, has firmly rejected the idea of a universal basic income, stating, “it’s not going to happen” during his tenure. He characterized the future of AI as a Rorschach test, highlighting differing perceptions, particularly from the Left, who envision a society where people no longer work and rely on government benefits, which he calls a fantasy. Sacks emphasizes that such a scenario of widespread welfare is unrealistic and will not come to fruition.
