Trump Says He Will Appoint New AI Adviser, Details Undisclosed
President Trump announced plans to name a new adviser on artificial intelligence but did not specify who or when, according to CNBC.
President Donald Trump said he intends to appoint a new adviser on artificial intelligence, CNBC reported, though he did not provide details on the identity of the appointee, the scope of the role, or a timeline for the announcement.
According to CNBC, Trump has repeatedly downplayed concerns about the risks associated with artificial intelligence and has argued that additional government regulation of the technology is unnecessary.
The report did not specify the context in which Trump made the announcement or whether the position would replace an existing adviser. CNBC's account did not include further comment from the White House on the responsibilities the new adviser would hold.
The announcement comes amid ongoing debate in Washington and the technology industry over how the federal government should approach oversight of artificial intelligence, a sector that has expanded rapidly in recent years.
Additional details about the appointment, including the name of the individual Trump plans to select, were not immediately available.
