Story summary

President Trump is expected to name Jay Clayton, currently serving as the Director of National Intelligence overseeing 18 US intelligence agencies, as the new AI czar. The announcement was teased on social media where Trump stated, "Only High I.Q. individuals need apply!" This decision comes after a meeting at the White House with top technology executives and amid growing concerns about AI risks. Clayton would maintain his current role while taking on responsibilities related to AI oversight, focusing on ensuring America's leadership in superintelligence. The Wall Street Journal reports that Clayton will lead a task force to produce a report assessing AI risks and opportunities over three months. A White House official stated any personnel announcement will be made directly by the President; until then, all reporting is "baseless speculation."
