Michael Kratsios: Inside the White House's AI Strategy

影片總結

Michael Kratsios backs open-source AI, one national rulebook, and $200B science funding transformed by AI

At Y Combinator Startup School, White House OSTP Director Michael Kratsios explained how Washington is shaping AI policy. He reaffirmed the administration’s support for both open- and closed-source models, citing the AI Action Plan co-authored with David Sacks and Secretary Rubio. Kratsios warned against rigid rules, noting the EU AI Act was finalized before ChatGPT and that fixed compute thresholds quickly age. He urged Congress to preempt conflicting state AI laws so startups face one national standard rather than a patchwork that favors Google-sized companies. He also described “born free” technologies versus “born in captivity” fields such as commercial drones, where government approvals block deployment. Looking ahead, he highlighted a 150-page science report, nearly $200 billion in annual federal R&D, autonomous cloud laboratories, and a Department of Energy goal to build a scientifically relevant quantum computer by 2028.
