Trump said that Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton is a suitable candidate for artificial intelligence director and that he plans to decide on the candidate within the next or days. The position's responsibilities and whether it will be formally established remain unclear.
According to Bloomberg, Trump is expected to launch the website next Tuesday with multiple people from the technology and AI industry sectors America.gov, integrating public services and information dispersed across federal agencies. The White House said the day will include discussions on AI artificial intelligence, energy, healthcare, space, and agriculture.
Sources say U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent may concurrently serve as the Trump administration’s “AI czar”; another source said no decision has been made, and the Treasury Department did not comment.
