US Establishes White House AI 'Superintelligence Force' Led by Jay Clayton

President-elect Trump has appointed Jay Clayton, identified as both former SEC Chair and current US intelligence chief, to lead a new White House 'Superintelligence Force' or task force focused on AI.

The precise scope, funding, and full membership of this body, as well as the specific policy direction (aggressive development vs. light-touch regulation), remain unclear.
