Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent Denies Rumors of Becoming Trump's AI Czar
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has denied rumors that he is set to become President Donald Trump’s new AI czar, as reported by various media outlets. During an interview on Fox News, Bessent stated he does not expect to take the role in Trump’s proposed administration, despite earlier reports suggesting otherwise. The position of AI czar was recently introduced under Trump's policy plans and is intended to oversee artificial intelligence strategy across federal agencies. While no official announcement has been made regarding a final candidate for this post, Bessent’s denial removes him from the running in public speculation at least temporarily. Bessent remains focused on his current duties as Treasury Secretary, where he continues to manage economic policy and financial regulations under Trump's administration.
