Who is Jay Clayton, a Trump loyalist tapped as new US AI czar?
Jay Clayton, the Director of National Intelligence, has been appointed by President Donald Trump as the new AI czar. This comes amid growing concerns about the risks and opportunities of rapidly evolving artificial intelligence technology. Clayton, who succeeds David Sacks in the role, will lead a new White House task force called the 'Super Intelligence Force'.
The group will have 120 days to research and report on AI's risks and opportunities, and offer recommendations to the US government regarding its responsibilities. Clayton, who is a Trump loyalist, is known for his extensive background in law and economics, having attended the University of Pennsylvania and King's College, London.
He previously served as the SEC chair between 2017 and 2020, and has been a golfing friend of Trump since 2020.
