Trump creates AI policy task force under Jay Clayton
President Donald Trump announced a federal artificial-intelligence task force called the “Super Intelligence Force” and named national intelligence chief Jay Clayton to lead it. The White House initiative will coordinate government engagement with AI, according to BBC, Engadget and TechCrunch reports, as debate over the technology’s safety and governance continues.
Why it matters
The task force places AI policy coordination under a senior intelligence official and could shape the administration’s approach to safety and oversight.
