U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to appoint current Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton to serve as the White House’s new AI policy lead, according to CNN, which cited two people familiar with the matter. The decision could be announced as soon as Friday local time. The White House did not confirm the report. A White House official said any personnel appointment would be announced directly by Trump and described reports published before a formal announcement as "baseless speculation." Clayton is expected to remain in his current role as director of national intelligence if selected for the additional post. He previously served as chair of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission during most of Trump’s first presidential term. The report comes after Trump said last month that he planned to create an "AI Force" and appoint an AI lead to address policy discussions tied to the rapid development of artificial intelligence. Trump had also previously told Axios that Clayton would be a suitable candidate for the role.
