The results of the 2024 U.S. presidential election are out, with Trump becoming the new president of the United States. Recently, Trump’s team revealed that Trump plans to create the position of AI czar in the White House to assist with future federal policies and the government’s use of AI technology. Trump’s team also responded to the question of whether Musk, who is close to Trump, would become the AI czar. Musk will not serve as AI czar, but will provide advice as an advisor.
Trump is considering creating an AI czar position at the White House, but his good buddy Musk won’t be the one to fill it.
Trump team tellsforeign mediaWe are currently considering establishing an AI czar, who will be responsible for consolidating AI technology resources across the public and private sectors, as well as driving the large-scale private investment needed to expand energy supplies, ensuring America’s leadership in AI. (In modern English, “czar” is also used to describe senior officials with specific powers and responsibilities, typically experts overseeing a particular domain within government.)
The U.S. government has a huge demand for AI technology, and the AI czar will also work with the U.S. government’s chief AI officer to jointly develop an AI policy framework that balances regulation and innovation.
When you think of Trump, you also think of Musk—the owner of X, SpaceX, and xAI—who was the biggest contributor to Trump’s election victory. Musk’s competitors worry that he will use his relationship with Trump to support his own AI company. There are also concerns about whether Trump will appoint Musk as the AI czar. According to foreign media reports, Musk will not become the AI czar, but he will be deeply involved in AI policy decisions and discuss the future direction of AI together with the AI czar. (Do you think this is any different from Musk himself becoming the AI czar?)
But there are alsoNewsIt is pointed out that the AI czar may be merged with the cryptocurrency czar, Crypto Czar, to become a leadership role covering emerging technologies across multiple fields. Currently, the Trump team is considering a restructuring of the White House to prioritize Trump’s key work. As for whether the AI czar will ultimately be established independently or merged together with the Crypto Czar, that will only be known when the Trump team announces the final results.
