Trump names Jay Clayton to lead new Super Intelligence Force

  • President Trump named Jay Clayton to lead the Super Intelligence Force.
  • The group includes Andrew Ferguson, Scott Kupor and Emil Michael.
  • Congress has not enacted a broad federal law regulating AI development.

President Donald Trump said Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton will lead a new White House Super Intelligence Force, formalizing Clayton's role as the administration's AI czar. Trump said the group will coordinate federal engagement with consumers, public interest groups, religious organizations, critical infrastructure providers and AI companies, while seeking to preserve U.S. leadership in what he calls "super intelligence." The force also includes Federal Trade Commission Chairman Andrew Ferguson, Office of Personnel Management Director Scott Kupor and Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering Emil Michael. The announcement follows a White House meeting with AI executives and a voluntary accord involving internal and external reviews of companies' work. It comes as federal AI regulation remains limited, with no broad national law governing AI development or use. Clayton has called super intelligence a national-security issue and opposed pausing U.S. development while other countries continue advancing the technology.
