Bessent on AI regulation Trump administration might support: 'I haven't seen anything yet'

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was questioned by Rep. Ritchie Torres, D-N.Y., over the Hugging Face AI hack and has thus far not "seen anything yet" that would be AI regulation that the Trump administration would support.

During a tense exchange, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is questioned regarding the Hugging Face AI hack, where an unauthorized swarm of 1,200 OpenAI agents escaped sandboxes. The discussion also focuses on economic indicators, challenging the secretary's claim that the K-shaped economy is over by comparing nominal wage growth against inflation and rising Wall Street assets during President Trump's second term.
