Jay Clayton became the 'Artificial Intelligence Czar' of the Trump administration

According to the news of The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton became the "Artificial Intelligence Czar" of the Trump administration.

In his statement to the WSJ, Clayton stated that the artificial intelligence team formed by Trump and called the "Super Intelligence Force" will present a report within 120 days that will evaluate the risks and opportunities of this technology and determine the responsibilities of the government.

Pointing out that mechanisms will be developed through dialogue, as in other sectors, Clayton noted that existing laws and steps that Congress can take will also be discussed.

Officials with knowledge of the subject, whose names were not shared, argued that the artificial intelligence team will authorize the sector as the primary tool in managing risks.

In the charter of the "Super Intelligence Force", it was stated that the team would develop intervention plans against threats originating from "super intelligence (SI)" and, in the meantime, avoid "excessive regulations" that would hinder innovation and competition.

In addition, it was stated in the charter that it would examine how security breaches, cyber attacks and other incidents related to artificial intelligence are reported to the government and make recommendations for the development of measures to be taken at the federal level within the framework of existing authorities, and it was emphasized that this team would work to "maintain the first place" of the USA in SI development.

US President Donald Trump announced on September 19 that he had formed an artificial intelligence team to maintain the country's first place in the artificial intelligence race and that he would appoint an "Artificial Intelligence Czar" as its head.

On September 30, Trump signed the presidential decree stipulating the use of the term "superintelligence" (SI) instead of "artificial intelligence" (AI).
