TREE NEWS update: US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said there is only one artificial intelligence czar within the US government, and that is President Donald Trump. Bessent made the remark in a statement, positioning Trump as the sole authority overseeing AI policy across the federal government. No further details on the scope of the role were provided.
Bessent: Trump Is the Only AI Czar in the US Government
AI take
Bessent's framing concentrates AI policy authority in the presidency rather than in a designated office or agency, which matters for how federal AI oversight is organized and who industry and markets treat as the decision-maker. The absence of any stated scope leaves unclear whether this reflects a formal structure or a rhetorical position. Whether other officials or bodies continue to shape AI rules is the open question.
