Trump taps intel chief Jay Clayton to lead new Super Intelligence Force
- Published
President Donald Trump named Jay Clayton to lead a new Super Intelligence Force, with the group set to report to him and Chief of Staff Susie Wiles. The task force is described as coordinating federal engagement with AI companies and other groups, and one report says it has 120 days to produce a report on AI risks and opportunities.
Key claims & sources
What it means
For AI companies and other groups that interact with the federal government, Clayton’s appointment puts one person in a central point of contact for that engagement. Anyone following the administration’s AI policy now has a named lead for the new Super Intelligence Force, and the group is meant to sit directly under the president and Chief of Staff Susie Wiles.
Market reaction i
The move was larger before the first headline than after. That is an observation, not an explanation: the market also moves on things nobody publishes.
