Elon Musk will not be the “Czar of AI” but is expected to be closely involved in the process going forward, the sources said.
“They say that the role (position – ed.) is likely, but not defined,” the publication writes.
Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, who heads Trump’s new non-government agency, the Department of Government Effectiveness (DOGE), will have significant input into who gets the appointment.
Musk, who owns the leading artificial intelligence company xAI, has publicly feuded with rival CEOs, including OpenAI’s Sam Altman and Google’s Sundar Pichai. Opponents fear that Musk could use his relationship with Trump to benefit his companies.
Trump, partly in response to the expanded coalition that helped him win, plans to be very attentive to new technologies.
Trump’s transition team vetted crypto executives for a potential role as the first-ever “crypto czar” in the White House, Bloomberg reported last week.
Responsibility for AI and cryptocurrencies can be combined and transferred under the leadership of one “king of new technologies”.
The “AI czar” is expected to be responsible for marshaling both public and private resources to keep America at the forefront of AI.
The idea was said to have been discussed in “Trump world” for months, as the transition team considered structural changes in the White House to prioritize staffing in line with Trump’s priorities.
The model is said to be similar to the National Energy Board, which Trump has said will be chaired by North Dakota Gov. Doug Bergum, who has been nominated to serve as interior secretary. Trump’s statement said the council “will consist of all departments and agencies involved in the permitting, production, generation, distribution, regulation, transportation of all forms of American energy.”
