This video is a clip from BND: Strategy Room Live Stream on April 18, 2026. David Sacks, who was the White House AI and crypto czar, has become co-chair of the tech advisory council expanding his role. Mr. Sacks has advocated the White House barrel forward with AI development completely disregarding any associated risks. Last week, Scott Bessent and Jerome Powell called an emergency meeting with every major bank CEO to discuss Anthropic’s new AI system Mythos. Mythos has the White House extremely worried because it finds bugs in older software at alarming rates. These bugs would allow hackers to get into company’s systems and cause an extreme amount of damage. The White House is now scrambling to head off this threat. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei was summoned to the White House on Friday to meet with Chief of Staff Susie Wiles. All this is happening as Gen Z grows more skeptical and angrier about AI. This all beckons the question, should AI be reigned in?
