Get you up to speed: Trump likely to pick Jay Clayton for AI czar, sources say
President Trump is expected to announce Jay Clayton as the White House’s pick for AI czar amidst ongoing discussions about regulating artificial intelligence. A meeting at the White House on Tuesday involved leaders of major AI firms, resulting in a commitment to implement voluntary safety standards for AI development.
President Trump is expected to confirm Jay Clayton as AI czar imminently, while the White House has not provided a timeline for a formal announcement. The leaders of major AI firms agreed to implement internal controls and external audits during a recent summit, highlighting a commitment to self-regulation amid ongoing discussions about AI management.
President Trump is expected to announce Jay Clayton as the AI czar shortly, according to multiple sources. Following a recent meeting at the White House, industry leaders pledged to uphold voluntary safety standards for AI, which Mr. Trump called “morally binding,” indicating a cooperative approach to self-regulation in the sector.
What remains unclear — It is not clear when President Trump will officially announce the appointment of the AI czar.
Trump expected to appoint Jay Clayton as AI czar, sources indicate
Jay Clayton will likely be the White House’s pick for AI czar, and the Trump administration has been discussing having him remain in his current role as director of national intelligence, according to sources briefed on the matter.
President Trump is expected to make the final decision shortly, three of the sources said.
Mr. Trump announced plans to name an AI czar last month, writing on social media: “Only High I.Q. individuals need apply!” The posting comes amid growing debate over how to manage the risks and potential of ever-more-powerful AI technology. The leaders of the country’s top AI firms met at the White House on Tuesday to sign a set of voluntary safety standards.
Shortly after that meeting, Mr. Trump told reporters he planned to name an AI czar within three or four days. “We have somebody that’s extraordinary,” he said.
Asked for comment, a White House official told WTX US News: “Any personnel announcement will be announced directly by the President. Any reporting until then is baseless speculation.”
The Senate confirmed Clayton as director of national intelligence in July. A lawyer by trade, he previously served as the top federal prosecutor in Manhattan and led the Securities and Exchange Commission for most of Mr. Trump’s first term.
Early in his second term, Mr. Trump named venture capitalist David Sacks as cryptocurrency and AI czar. Sacks stepped down earlier this year but continued to co-chair the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology.
Clayton will take on an AI-focused role as political and industry leaders discuss whether — and how — the technology should be regulated.
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, who run two of the country’s leading AI firms, have backed the idea of “pacing the frontier” of AI development in order to better manage its risks. Some lawmakers have pushed for legal guardrails on AI. But other major industry players, like Sacks and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, have argued some of the grave warnings about the threats AI could pose to humanity are overblown.
Mr. Trump is skeptical of tighter AI regulations, touting the economic benefits of the technology — which he calls “Super Intelligence” — and arguing a slowdown could give Chinese AI labs an edge. He says federal law enforcement can deal with bad actors.
During Tuesday’s White House summit, the president and the leaders of some of the country’s largest AI firms — OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, Nvidia and Elon Musk’s SpaceXAI — committed to several layers of internal controls and external audits to ensure their AI models are working as intended.
Mr. Trump called the agreement “morally binding” and “almost like a constitution.”
“I think I’m seeing tremendous self-policing, and they understand that they have to self-police,” he said shortly after meeting with AI executives.

Get you up to speed: ‘Professor Doomsday’ warns Putin will push nuclear button if West sends troops to Ukraine | News World
Sergei Karaganov, an advisor to Vladimir Putin, warned that millions could face death if Russia resorts to nuclear action, specifically if NATO deploys troops to Ukraine or threatens Kaliningrad. NATO has condemned this rhetoric, stating, “We strongly denounce the threat of force, including any irresponsible nuclear rhetoric.”
Sergei Karaganov stated that Russia would resort to nuclear action if NATO troops are deployed in Ukraine or if Kaliningrad is threatened, emphasizing the severe consequences he anticipates for millions in NATO countries. NATO has officially condemned the threats made by Russia and reaffirmed that its operations are defensive in nature, ensuring that none pose a risk to Russian territory.
Sergei Karaganov, a senior advisor to Vladimir Putin, warned that “millions of innocent people would perish” if Russia deemed its territory threatened and resorted to nuclear action. In response, NATO issued a statement denouncing the “irresponsible nuclear rhetoric,” asserting that its activities do not pose a risk to Russia and affirming its position as a defensive alliance.
What remains unclear — It is uncertain how NATO will respond to the possibility of a nuclear strike if its troops are deployed in Ukraine.

One of Vladimir Putin’s most senior advisors has said millions of innocent people face death if Vladimir Putin pushes his nuclear button.
‘Professor Doomsday’ Sergei Karaganov, 74, an Honorary Chairman of the Praesidium of Russia’s Council on Foreign and Defence Policy, issued the warning after weeks of increasing tensions.
He said Russia will go nuclear if the West sends troops into Ukraine or touches the Kremlin’s Baltic Sea outpost, Kaliningrad.
‘I hope it does not come to that, but Russia would be forced to launch a nuclear strike if NATO countries deployed troops to Ukrainian territory or if there were a direct threat to Russian territory,’ he said.
He smiled and added: ‘It is absolutely clear that such a war would be nuclear. I do not want that, and I am actively working to prevent such a scenario.’

He went on to say that a ‘nuclear war in Europe would be easily won’, but inflict ‘terrible moral damage’ on Russia.
‘Millions of innocent people would perish,’ he said, referencing NATO nations.
The interviewer told Karaganov that he had earlier suggested a ‘preemptive nuclear strike’, to which the professor replied: ‘It’s not too late.’
‘I hope things won’t come to that, but I am very pleased that both the Russian President and the Foreign Minister have started saying that if a war were to break out, it would be very short,’ he said.
Yesterday, NATO responded to Russia’s outright threat to deploy nuclear weapons if Kaliningrad is ‘threatened’ by the alliance.

‘We strongly denounce the threat of force, including any irresponsible nuclear rhetoric,’ NATO wrote.
‘We have sent a response, noting that NATO is a defensive Alliance and none of our activities or exercises pose a risk to any part of Russia.
‘We strongly denounce the threat of force, including any irresponsible nuclear rhetoric.’
Russia has repeatedly threatened the use of nuclear weapons if NATO and other European countries continue to ‘threaten’ its territory.
