President Donald Trump has named Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton as his new artificial-intelligence czar. Clayton gets 120 days to report back on the pros and cons of the technology.

Clayton will oversee a so-called Super Intelligence Force. The group is being formed as Trump resists pressure to slow down AI development. Trump wants America to stay the world leader in what he calls “super intelligence”, or SI.

“The president asked that a group be put together that was going to ensure exactly what he said … [that] we stay the leaders in super intelligence and that the interests of the American people are put first,” Clayton told the Wall Street Journal.

“The risk of not being first is high,” Clayton added. He said being first will help America handle risks from its rivals.

The move follows a White House meeting last week with top AI executives. The companies signed a commitment on better “self-policing” of their AI models.

Trump has said AI fears are overblown. He believes the technology will be used for good and wants light rules so innovation can move fast.
