US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent Considered for AI Adviser Role Under Trump
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is reportedly being considered for the role of President Donald Trump's new artificial intelligence (AI) adviser, or "AI czar," amid growing concerns among lawmakers about AI risks. Trump has downplayed the need for additional AI regulation but announced plans to appoint an AI adviser and create an "AI force." Bessent recently led talks with Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng focusing on AI safety and national security ahead of the Trump-Xi summit. No official decision has been made, and the Treasury has not commented.
