Reuters, citing a Wall Street Journal interview, reported that President Donald Trump appointed Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton as the administration's AI czar. Clayton is to lead a White House panel informally called the Super Intelligence Force.

The task force will review AI-related risks, existing incident-reporting mechanisms and options for strengthening the federal response under current authorities. Reuters noted that this is the administration's second AI-czar appointment after venture capitalist David Sacks held the role earlier in Trump's second term.
