President Donald Trump announced an artificial intelligence task force led by National Intelligence Director Jay Clayton and including Federal Trade Commission Chair Andrew Ferguson and Undersecretary of Defense for Research and Engineering Emil Michael. The group will report directly to Trump and White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, following a summit with tech leaders like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg who expressed concerns about AI’s risks but were met with Trump's stance on minimal regulation.

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 White House's AI czar. This decision follows warnings from AI researchers about potential risks and comes after major tech firms met with the administration to discuss safety standards for AI technology. The move aims to address growing concerns while maintaining a leadership position in AI development ahead of competitors like China. Clayton would continue his current role while taking on additional responsibilities related to AI oversight, though a formal announcement from Trump is pending.
