White House task force led by Jay Clayton to report on AI risks and government oversight within 120 days

The White House has established a task force, named the "Super Intelligence Force," to produce a report on AI risks and the federal government's responsibility. The task force is led by Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton, who becomes the administration's AI czar. The report is due within 120 days. President Trump has prioritized keeping the US ahead of China and supports voluntary industry self-regulation rather than new regulations. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent criticized AI leaders' existential risk warnings as alarmist, urging the industry to police itself.
