President Donald Trump announced on Sunday that Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton will lead the "Super Intelligence Force," an initiative aimed at coordinating federal efforts in artificial intelligence regulation. Joining Clayton are several high-ranking officials including Federal Trade Commission Chairman Andrew Ferguson, Office of Personnel Management Director Scott Kupor, and Pentagon chief technology officer Emil Michael. The task force is also supported by venture capitalist David Sacks and former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, among others. Its purpose includes protecting American interests and improving lives through coordination with various stakeholders such as consumer groups, religious organizations, critical infrastructure providers, and AI companies. Clayton emphasized the importance of leadership in AI to address both known and unknown risks while noting the potential for high risk if the U.S. does not take a leading role.

Story summary
President Trump is expected to appoint Jay Clayton, currently serving as the Director of National Intelligence overseeing 18 US intelligence agencies, as the White House’s AI czar. This move comes after growing concerns about the risks associated with artificial intelligence technology. The appointment was teased by President Trump in early October when he wrote on social media: "Only High I.Q. individuals need apply!" Clayton will continue to hold his current position while taking on this new role, which involves assessing the risks and opportunities of AI.
The decision follows a meeting at the White House with executives from leading technology firms who signed voluntary safety standards for AI technology. When asked about the appointment, a White House official stated that any personnel announcement would be made directly by President Trump and that reports until then are speculative.
