President Trump is expected to name intelligence director Jay Clayton as AI tsar, six months after David Sacks left, with Clayton keeping his spy-agency job. The record points to pressure on firms that limit military use of their models, with Anthropic first in line, and little sign of a sector-wide crackdown.

President Trump named intelligence director Jay Clayton to lead a White House AI task force with 120 days to set a federal plan for AI risks. With the spy chief in charge, AI companies are likelier to face federal demands on incident reporting than rules on how models are built.

For buyers of American AI, Trump's new czar matters more than the CEOs' self-policing pact
Donald Trump signed a 'morally binding' AI pact with six CEOs, then made intelligence chief Jay Clayton his AI czar. For firms building on American models, the appointment carries more consequence than a pledge they have no way to enforce.
