Trump Names National Intelligence Chief Jay Clayton as New AI Czar

The new task force will coordinate federal engagement with industry and public groups as Trump warns the United States must keep leading in super intelligence.

  • On Sunday, President Trump named Director Jay Clayton the new White House Super Intelligence czar to lead the "Super Intelligence Force," designed to "ensure that America continues to lead the World in Super Intelligence."
  • Trump's initiative follows his appointment of Silicon Valley investor David Sacks as a Super Intelligence czar in December 2024; Sacks later became co-chair of the Council of Advisors on Science and Technology earlier this year.
  • Clayton's "Super Intelligence Force" will "coordinate the Federal Government's engagement with Consumers, Public Interest Groups, Religious Organizations, Critical Infrastructure Providers, and Super Intelligence Companies," including Federal Trade Commission Chairman Andrew Ferguson and Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering Emil Michael.
  • Rejecting calls to "slow down" or "pause" development, Trump argued it is not a good strategy given global competition, while Clayton labeled the technology a "national security issue."
  • Congress has not passed broad federal laws regulating Technology development, leaving the industry's future direction unclear even as the White House launched a new website sourced via Super Intelligence this week.
