Jay Clayton to lead Trump's AI task force, deliver report in 120 days, WSJ reports

The White House has established a task force to investigate both the risks and opportunities presented by artificial intelligence, with the mandate to determine the appropriate federal government oversight, according to a report from the Wall Street Journal. The task force, dubbed the "Super Intelligence Force," is headed by Jay Clayton, the director of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, who will serve as President Donald Trump's AI advisor, the report indicates.

Clayton's appointment effectively makes him the U.S. government's AI czar, as per a senior White House official quoted in the source. The task force is expected to deliver its findings within a 120-day timeframe, as stated by the source.
