David Sacks, a key adviser to President Trump on technology, believes fears that AI could threaten humanity are overblown. In an exclusive interview with CBS News' Jo Ling Kent, Sacks delivers a message to tech leaders including Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, argues that a "pause" on AI development could cause the U.S. to fall behind China in the AI race, and discusses more about the importance of tech.
