Trump Names Jay Clayton to Lead AI Force

President Donald Trump named Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton to lead a new White House “Super Intelligence Force,” tasked with coordinating federal engagement on advanced AI and helping maintain U.S. competitiveness. The group will work with AI companies, consumers, public-interest and religious organizations, and critical-infrastructure providers. Its charter calls for an assessment within 120 days of AI’s national-security risks and economic opportunities, a review of incident-reporting systems, and recommendations to strengthen federal responses. The move follows a voluntary accord with major technology companies and reflects Trump’s focus on U.S. leadership with limited regulation, as researchers and lawmakers raise AI-safety concerns.
