President Donald Trump announced he will appoint an "artificial intelligence czar" to oversee his administration's response to the rapidly developing technology. A Saturday statement noted the president intends to create an "AI task force," though he offered little explanation of how the body would work or what authority it would have.

AXIOS tech policy reporter Maria Curi joins Way Too Early to discuss the developments and explain why she says the announcement left White House advisers "scrambling".  MS NOW: My Source for News, Opinion, and the World. » Subscribe to MS NOW: / @msnow » Subscribe to MS NOW’s We the People Newsletter for exclusive content from your favorite MS NOW anchors.
