According to Decrypt, President Trump has named former Securities and Exchange Commission chair Jay Clayton to head a new federal effort focused on artificial intelligence policy. The initiative, referred to as the “Super Intelligence Force,” is intended to coordinate AI strategy across relevant government departments.
Jay Clayton, who served as SEC chairman, previously oversaw legal actions by the agency against cryptocurrency firms, including a lawsuit filed by the SEC against Ripple. As part of his current role in the administration, he will lead the newly created coordinating body for federal AI policy.
The announcement comes amid ongoing federal interest in advancing national standards and oversight for emerging AI technologies. No further details about structure, budget, or timeline were provided in the source material.
