US Treasury secretary could take on AI czar role, source says
The White House is weighing Bessent and other officials for the post as Trump seeks a lighter-touch AI policy and a new advisory force.
- On Tuesday, Reuters reported the White House is considering Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent for the 'AI czar' position, though officials declined immediate comment on the potential appointment.
- President Donald Trump signaled this shift Saturday, announcing plans to appoint an artificial intelligence adviser and create an "AI force," while recently polling followers to rename AI to "Super Intelligence."
- Bessent led AI safety discussions with Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng in New York on Sunday, establishing his authority on the issue within the Trump Administration.
- The White House is also evaluating Technology Policy Michael Kratsios and Personnel Management Scott Kupor for the role, while David Sacks previously served as Trump's AI and Crypto Czar until March.
- Bessent told CNBC this week the role aims "to put context, shape and contours around these questions," indicating the administration intends strategic oversight of artificial intelligence policy.
