Trump says Scott Bessent won’t be AI czar

Trump in Sept. 19 had said he would form an “AI Force, much like I did Space Force.”

“To that end, I will be announcing, in the near future, the AI ‘Czar'” the president said on Truth Social that day. “AI is the next Industrial Revolution, or Internet, but will be even larger and more impactful, possibly as much as 25% of our Country’s GDP.”

“We are leading China, and the rest of the World, and I intend to keep it that way!” Trump said.
