Story summary

President Trump is expected to name Jay Clayton, the Director of National Intelligence, as the White House's artificial intelligence (AI) czar. This decision follows concerns raised by AI company employees about potential risks posed by advanced technology. Clayton already oversees 18 US intelligence agencies and would retain this role while taking on the new responsibility. The announcement could come as early as Friday via social media. Critics argue that Clayton’s dual roles may create conflicts of interest, given his existing responsibilities in national security.
