Trump Names Former SEC Chair Jay Clayton to Lead New AI Initiative
Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton will head a federal task force coordinating artificial intelligence policy across government agencies.
President Donald Trump announced the creation of the "Super Intelligence Force," a new federal task force tasked with leading government policy on artificial intelligence. Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton has been selected to head the group, effectively serving as the administration's AI czar alongside White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, Federal Trade Commission Chairman Andrew Ferguson, Under Secretary of War Emil Michael, and Office of Personnel Management Director Scott Kupor.
The task force will oversee engagement with technology firms, critical infrastructure operators, consumer groups, and religious organizations following an agreement with leading AI executives. The group will report directly to the White House.
Clayton's appointment places a central figure from past crypto regulation at the forefront of AI policy. During his tenure as SEC chairman in Trump's first term, Clayton initiated 57 enforcement actions against cryptocurrency firms, including the lawsuit against Ripple over XRP. He later served as interim U.S. attorney in Manhattan, overseeing the prosecution of Tornado Cash developer Roman Storm, and advised several crypto firms before returning to the federal government.
