A source familiar with the discussions said on Tuesday U.S. Treasury Secretary
Bessent may be named President Trump's artificial intelligence (AI) czar.
Washington lawmakers are increasingly concerned about AI risks, though Trump has
repeatedly downplayed those concerns and argued against additional regulation.
The Treasury Department did not immediately comment; a second source said no
decision has been made. Trump said last Saturday he plans to appoint an AI czar
and form an "AI force" but provided no details.
