Treasury Sec Bessent said to assist with drafting the latest AI framework; Proposal is under review by White House Chief Wiles - press (update)
**TTN Note: CONTEXT: The proposal appears to be the Trump administration’s revived framework for voluntary federal pre-release engagement with developers of powerful AI models, particularly where models could create cyber or national-security risks. Bessent’s role matters because Treasury has focused on spillovers to financial infrastructure and payment systems, widening AI policy beyond the usual technology and national-security agencies. The plan reportedly followed delays and industry pushback against an earlier version, making Bessent’s involvement a signal of stronger White House coordination rather than a purely advisory Treasury role.
