President-elect Donald Trump is reportedly considering the appointment of an 'AI czar' to coordinate federal policy and governmental use of artificial intelligence (AI), according to Trump transition sources. This move aims to ensure the U.S. remains at the forefront of AI technology. Sources suggest that Elon Musk, who is leading Trump's Department of Government Efficiency, will have a significant advisory role in shaping AI policy, although he won't be the AI czar himself. The position is expected to focus on managing the growing influence of AI, coordinating government usage, and fostering innovation while addressing regulation.
