Report: US Treasury Secretary Bessent in Running for Trump’s AI Czar

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is a leading contender to take on the role of White House "AI czar", according to reports from The Hindu and Cointelegraph.

President Donald Trump is considering Bessent following the departure of David Sacks earlier this year. Sacks previously oversaw artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency policy for the administration, stepping down after reaching the legal service limit for a special government employee.
