Trump names Jay Clayton to lead AI task force

President Trump has appointed Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton to lead a new federal AI task force called the Super Intelligence Force, announced via Truth Social. Clayton will oversee a report on AI risks and opportunities due within 120 days, including recommendations on security breach disclosure. The group's charter requires plans for responding to AI-enabled threats while avoiding overregulation. Vice chairs include FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson, OPM Director Scott Kupor, and Pentagon CTO Emil Michael. Clayton rejected calls from Anthropic's Dario Amodei and others for a coordinated slowdown in AI development.
