Despite President Donald Trump dismissing artificial intelligence risks as a "scam," concerns are growing within the White House, according to a New York Times report on September 18. The report details internal discussions on AI regulation. White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent worry about potential large-scale disruptions from AI-driven hacking of major financial institutions. Wiles has formed an informal group to address AI model risks, with Bessent participating. Even AI development supporters in the administration view threats like infrastructure hacking, biological dangers, and financial market instability as realistic. However, no official oversees AI policy, and Bessent will discuss AI safety with Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng this weekend.
