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.

Sen. Ted Cruz blocked a bill giving a federal board 45-day pre-release access to frontier AI models as six AI firms signed Trump's voluntary accord. Until Congress returns, oversight of those models runs through auditors and board committees the companies agreed to appoint.
