Trump's decision to name a new AI czar comes after AI researchers warned that people building the technology believe it could kill humans within a decade.
Trump last month said he planned to name a new "AI czar" and create an "AI force" though he gave no details about either initiative or how they would be implemented.
This is the second time Trump has named an adviser to oversee AI-related decisions across the administration.
Venture capitalist David Sacks held the AI czar role at the beginning of Trump's second term, before leaving the White House. Sacks still advises Trump on AI and attended a meeting on Tuesday with the president and industry executives.
The news of an AI czar was first reported by CBS.
