David Sacks, a Silicon Valley investor and former PayPal executive, has been appointed as the White House AI and Crypto Czar for Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign. Sacks, a vocal supporter of Trump, will oversee the campaign’s efforts to leverage artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency technologies. He aims to use AI for targeted advertising, voter outreach, and data analysis, while exploring the potential of crypto for fundraising and engaging with supporters. Sacks believes AI and crypto can provide a competitive edge and help Trump connect with a broader base of voters. However, critics raise concerns about the ethical implications of using AI for political campaigns and the risks associated with crypto’s volatility and lack of regulation. The appointment highlights the increasing role of emerging technologies in modern political campaigns.
