Trump appoints spy chief Jay Clayton as AI czar
Donald Trump has given Jay Clayton, who already leads U.S. intelligence, an extra job overseeing government efforts on artificial intelligence. Clayton will keep heading intelligence while also serving as AI czar, leading a new 'Super Intelligence Force.' Trump's move formalizes a key role meant to coordinate AI policy, after previous AI adviser David Sacks left the position earlier this year.
- Clayton will handle both intelligence and AI advisory duties
- The 'Super Intelligence Force' aims to coordinate federal AI policy
- David Sacks previously held the AI czar position until March 2026
- The role is intended to address both AI opportunities and threats
