Bessent gives AI firms a D-minus on public outreach, citing trust risk
AI summary
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent graded AI companies a D-minus on public outreach, warning that poor communication could erode public trust and slow AI's integration into society and policy. The remark carries no direct crypto price catalyst, but it signals continued political scrutiny of AI that could shape future tech and digital-asset regulation. Traders watching AI-token narratives should note the reputational pressure on the sector.
