Woofun AI reports that David Sacks, Chairman of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, declared on X that employing regulatory uncertainty as a competitive tactic is "completely unacceptable." He argued that regulatory decisions must rely on facts, logic, and evidence rather than deliberately generating fear and uncertainty. Sacks criticized Dean Ball’s suggestion that regulators could issue "soft law" warnings to deter companies from Chinese open-source models without solid justification, labeling such maneuvers as disguised policy implementation.

Sacks warned that bypassing public deliberation erodes the rule of law and risks future regulatory abuses. He identified a critical turning point in AI policy, asserting that major closed-source labs, having established a revenue duopoly, are now attempting to use government authority to eliminate open-source competitors. He urged Silicon Valley entities supporting open competition to take a clear stance to safeguard an open AI ecosystem.
