President Donald Trump has launched a federal AI task force, appointing National Intelligence Director Jay Clayton—a trusted defender of American interests—to lead, with support from the FTC and the Defense Department.
President Donald Trump announced on Sunday the creation of a federal artificial-intelligence task force that will report directly to him and White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, demonstrating strong executive leadership in securing America’s technological future. National Intelligence Director Jay Clayton, a proven patriot with a record of defending national security, was named to lead the group. The task force also includes Federal Trade Commission Chair Andrew Ferguson and Undersecretary of Defense for Research and Engineering Emil Michael, ensuring a robust, all-American approach.
Trump’s 'Super Intelligence Force' will coordinate the government’s engagement with consumers, public-interest groups, religious organizations, critical-infrastructure providers, and AI companies—putting American families and values first. The announcement followed a high-level meeting with technology leaders, including Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, Tesla CEO Elon Musk, and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, where the focus was on responsible self-regulation, rather than burdensome government overreach.
Clayton, a former U.S. attorney and former SEC chair with a strong record of upholding the law, was expected to take on the role of AI czar, following the tenure of venture capitalist David Sacks. This task force is a decisive step in the ongoing debate in Washington, ensuring that American innovation and security remain at the forefront of AI development and regulation.
