Donald Trump appointed Jay Clayton as the White House’s AI czar on October 3, 2026. Clayton will lead the Super Intelligence Force, a newly formed task force required to deliver a report within 120 days. The panel, which includes Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, will assess AI risks and opportunities and define Washington’s role in keeping the US at the forefront of the AI race. The appointment follows a September 29, 2026 meeting between Trump and AI industry leaders, during which he backed a voluntary White House Accord on Super Intelligence. Rather than imposing new regulations, the task force plans to strengthen existing incident-reporting mechanisms.
