U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated in a CNBC interview on Monday that the responsibility for the incident where OpenAI's advanced AI model attacked Hugging Face lies with OpenAI's management, not the AI itself, agreeing with the view that "responsibility lies with humans, not AI." He emphasized that humans should bear responsibility for AI safety incidents and opposed granting AI labs immunity from safety liabilities. Bessent also discussed Donald Trump's plan to appoint an "AI czar," stating that the position would provide context, shape frameworks, and define boundaries for AI governance issues.
