On October 2, CNN, drawing on information from two sources with inside knowledge, reported that US President Trump is anticipated to appoint Jay Clayton, who currently serves as the Director of National Intelligence, as the “AI Czar” (AI advisor). In the previous month, Trump hinted at his intention to create this post and assemble an “AI corps,” yet he refrained from revealing precise particulars. This represents the second instance in which Trump has instituted this position to oversee and harmonize government decision-making regarding AI. Earlier, during the initial phase of Trump’s second term, venture capitalist David Sacks assumed this responsibility, only to later resign; however, he still offers counsel on AI-related matters. Trump’s decision to appoint an AI Czar comes amidst cautionary statements from leading AI experts. While there is a rising sense of unease among policymakers in Washington and around the world concerning the potential hazards of AI technology, Trump has consistently dismissed these apprehensions, contending that there is no imperative for more stringent oversight.
