President Donald Trump announced plans to establish a new federal unit, the AI Force, to coordinate AI policy across government agencies. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that the administration will not protect frontier AI labs from financial risks, requiring them to take responsibility for their operations. Bessent also noted that taxpayer money will not cover liability for private credit borrowing by Anthropic and OpenAI.
