US intel chief Clayton may be asked to also oversee AI innovation and development along with “self policing” tech CEOs.
President Donald Trump is expected to appoint Jay Clayton, US director of national intelligence, as the new AI czar, CNN and other media reported Friday, citing unidentified sources.
Cointelegraph reported Sept. 20 that Trump planned to create an “AI Force” modeled after the Space Force and appoint an artificial intelligence czar. The president posted on Truth Social that his new project would manage the fast-growing AI sector without adding regulations that could slow innovation.
Trump’s actions followed several public warnings about the potential dangers of AI.
