In early 2025, J. D. Vance<\/span> paid a visit to Les Invalides, in Paris, where he was invited to clutch the sword of the Marquis de Lafayette, a hero of the American Revolution. In a speech the next day, Vance drew a parallel between that sword and artificial intelligence, calling them both \u201cweapons that are dangerous in the wrong hands but are incredible tools for liberty and prosperity in the right hands.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whether the rollout of AI in the U.S. ends up in the right hands will depend to some degree on the vice president himself. Since President Trump returned to office, Vance has taken a prominent role in articulating how the administration should approach the AI revolution. Many Republicans, including Trump, broadly favor a hands-off approach. Vance, in a series of speeches and interviews, has offered a more substantive framework for the interplay among government, AI companies, and workers\u2014with the occasional political barb thrown in.<\/p>\n

He, too, has called for avoiding regulations that slow innovation. But he also believes that some forms of power are too important to leave to Big Tech to self-regulate. And he has sought to tackle one question on the minds of many Americans: What will happen to workers?<\/p>\n

Vance\u2019s approach reflects the tension between the two main forces that fueled his political rise. Before he ran for Senate, Vance worked in venture capital, and his ascent was backed by Silicon Valley figures such as Peter Thiel and David Sacks\u2014many of the same people who are now in the aggressively anti-regulation, pro-market camp of the GOP. Yet Vance also built his political reputation on his self-described hillbilly upbringing and on giving voice to the frustrations of working-class voters\u2014who feel forgotten by Washington, view both government and big companies with suspicion, and fear that AI is coming for their jobs.<\/p>\n

Now Vance is attempting to build a distinctly MAGA vision of AI that rewards innovation and is global in ambition, protective of American…<\/p>\n
