President-elect Donald Trump reportedly plans to appoint an “AI czar” to centralize U.S. policy on artificial intelligence (AI) and strengthen the nation’s leadership in this transformative technology. Along with this, Trump is also considering creating the role of “Crypto czar” to guide blockchain and cryptocurrency regulation.
The AI Czar will be tasked with overseeing federal AI policy, collaborating with agency officials, and driving innovation while addressing key challenges such as efficiency and fraud prevention. The move aligns with Trump’s broader goals of encouraging technological growth and supporting private sector investment. Elon Musk, a key player in Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), is expected to influence the selection process for the position, though he is unlikely to take on the role himself.
The US will become a more digital country under Trump's leadership, it seems!
