President Trump seeks AI adviser and forms new 'AI Force'
President Trump just announced a search for a new AI adviser and the creation of an "AI Force," following David Sacks's exit earlier this year.
With AI companies like OpenAI and Anthropic urging more government oversight, the next appointee will help shape policies in the trillion-dollar AI industry.
White House candidates for AI adviser
Sriram Krishnan, who was the architect of Trump's AI Action Plan, is in the mix and has earned praise from Trump for his work.
Scott Bessent, known for questioning AI creators' accountability, called Reuters's report that he had already been asked by Trump to serve in the role "fake news."
Sean Cairncross, the National Cyber Director, and Michael Kratsios, the director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, are also in the mix.
Whoever gets chosen will have to balance industry innovation with growing calls for regulation.
