<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="ai-and-crypto-czar-s-role-scaled-back-in-the-trump-administration">AI and Crypto Czar's Role Scaled Back in the Trump Administration</h2>  
<p>Originally anticipated to spearhead tech and crypto policy, Sacks will play a general advisory role. Lined up to lead the technology policy effort is former Trump administration Chief Technology Officer Michael Kratsios. The current Scale AI employee oversaw the transition's all-of-government technology policy team along with Gale Slater, concentrating on tech, telecom, and antitrust issues.</p>  
<p>That partial recasting of the role of <a href="https://coincu.com/295587-new-crypto-czar-appointed-by-trump/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">AI and Crypto Czar</a> is partly a reflection of his decision not to divest from his investment firm, Craft Ventures, or to commit to a full-time government role.</p>  
<p>The former would entail Senate confirmation, a process to which he has preferred not to submit. Instead, Sacks could be labelled a "special government employee," whereby he can maintain his private sector involvement while advising on policy matters.</p>  
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="sacks-to-maintain-influence-despite-reduced-responsibilities">Sacks to Maintain Influence Despite Reduced Responsibilities</h2>  
<p>With these new responsibilities, Sacks is predicted to remain influential in the Administration owing to his close relationship with Trump and influence in the tech and political worlds. Since the election, Sacks has spent time commuting between Florida, including at Mar-a-Lago and in San Francisco, and has taken meetings with lawmakers such as Rand Paul.</p>
