JD Vance is serving as the 50th vice president of the United States during the second presidency of Donald Trump since January 20, 2025. Vance, a member of the Republican Party who previously served as the junior U.S. senator representing Ohio from 2023 to 2025, was selected as former president Trump's running mate and took office following their victory in the 2024 presidential election over Democratic nominees Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

Vance is the youngest person elected to the office since Richard Nixon in 1952, as well as the third-youngest vice president in U.S. history. He is the second Catholic to hold the position, after Joe Biden, and has the least previous political experience of any vice president, serving two years and seven days in office as senator from Ohio before assuming the vice presidency. During his tenure, Vance has also served as the finance chair of the Republican National Committee.

Sign up for our AI Mastery Membership. LEARN MORE US Vice President JD Vance just took the stage at an AI summit in Paris and turned more than a few heads with a massively pro-acceleration AI speech. [...] If you’re pro-acceleration, it’s music to your ears: The US basically just said, ‘Full speed ahead, don’t slow us down.’ If you’re pro-regulation, you may be alarmed, especially since the administration’s official line is that safety concerns shouldn’t overshadow innovation. In short, JD Vance’s Paris AI address wasn’t just a passing political speech. It signaled even more commitment to a major stance from the current administration: [...] From the podium, Vance painted a picture of AI as the next industrial revolution, an economic turning point on par with the steam engine. His language was direct: Europe’s AI regulations, in his view, represent “excessive regulation” that stifles progress. The administration made its position crystal clear by refusing to sign the international pledge that promotes safe, secure, and trustworthy AI—a pledge China did sign. Vance’s move highlights a deepening rift:

  # Vice President JD Vance is 'optimistic' about AI automating American jobs Vice President JD Vance on Air Force Two. At the Winning the AI Race Summit, a conference hosted by venture capitalists in Washington, DC, Vice President JD Vance said he was "optimistic" about artificial intelligence automating American jobs. Vance was responding to a question asked by podcaster and tech investor Jason Calacanis about how Trump 2.0 is thinking about job displacement because of AI. [...] Panelists, including Vance, discussed how the US can dominate the AI race at Wednesday's who's who of venture capitalists, startup founders, and politicians. The topic has become an increasingly acute concern in Silicon Valley and on Capitol Hill as geopolitical tensions rise, following the release of Chinese AI startup DeepSeek's powerful R1 model in January, which caught many investors and AI entrepreneurs by surprise. [...] Vance seemed more bullish than alarmed, arguing that AI's impact has yet to be priced into the job market: "If the robots were coming to take all of our jobs, you would see labor productivity skyrocketing in this country," he said. "But actually, you see labor productivity flatlining. What that means, actually, is that our country is under-indexed in technology and not over-indexed in technology."

He also took aim at the notion that more advanced AI will dramatically displace workers. [...] “We shouldn’t be afraid of artificial intelligence,” Vance said at the summit, which was hosted by venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz. “In a healthy economy, technology should be something that enhances rather than supplants the value of labor, and I think there's too much fear that AI will simply replace jobs, rather than augmenting so many of the things that we do now.”

I want to start by thanking President Macron for hosting this event and, of course, for the lovely dinner last night. During the dinner, President Macron looked at me and asked if I would like to speak. I said, "Mr. President, I'm here for the good company and free wine, but I have to earn my keep today." [...] This doesn't mean that all concerns about safety go out the window, but focus matters, and we must focus now on the opportunity to catch lightning in a bottle, unleash our most brilliant innovators, and use AI to improve the well-being of our nations and their peoples. With great confidence, I can say it is an opportunity that the Trump Administration will not squander, and we hope everyone convened here today feels exactly the same. Thank you, and God bless you all. [...] Finally, this administration wants to be very clear about one last point: We will always center American workers in our AI policy. We refuse to view AI as a purely disruptive technology that will inevitably automate away our labor force. We believe, and we will fight for policies that ensure AI will make our workers more productive. We expect that they will reap the rewards with higher wages, better benefits, and safer and more prosperous communities.

  Morningstar # J.D. Vance calls AI a 'communist technology.' Is there partisan bias in new tech tools? By Chris Matthews The vice president warned crypto boosters to 'keep tabs' on the artificial-intelligence industry Vice President J.D. Vance lobbed a salvo in an emerging tech-industry culture war at the Bitcoin Conference in Las Vegas on Wednesday - branding artificial intelligence as a "communist technology" and casting crypto as a freedom-promoting counterweight. [...] Whether or not these effects are the result of AI engineers' politics is unknown, but Vance said he wants crypto technologists to stay informed about their colleagues' work at AI labs. "I'd ask you all to remember that what happens in AI is very much going to affect in good and bad ways what happens in bitcoin," Vance said. "Make sure you're keeping tabs on and staying involved in what's happening in artificial intelligence." [...] The comments are red meat for a crypto community that grew to despise President Joe Biden's administration and its attitude toward digital-asset regulation, and underscore anxieties that tech changes emerging from Silicon Valley could have long-lasting and decisive affects on the partisan balance of power in Washington.
