President Trump is poised to appoint Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton as his new AI Czar, signaling an aggressive push to keep American leadership in artificial intelligence firmly in conservative hands.
According to the Gateway Pundit, the move follows President Trumps repeated warnings that the radical left is weaponizing fear over emerging technologies to expand government control and stifle innovation. The selection of Clayton, a trusted national security official, underscores the administrations view that AI is not only an economic engine but also a strategic asset that must be protected from both foreign adversaries and domestic overreach.
Last month, President Trump previewed the announcement and made clear that only the best and brightest would be considered for the role. To that end, I will be announcing, in the near future, the AI Czar Only High I.Q. individuals need apply! AI is the next Industrial Revolution, or Internet, but will be even larger and more impactful, possibly as much as 25% of our Countrys GDP. We are leading China, and the rest of the World, and I intend to keep it that way! President DONALD J. TRUMP, he added.
In a series of posts on Truth Social, President Trump framed the lefts latest campaign against AI as part of a long pattern of politically motivated hoaxes designed to undermine the country and his presidency. Over the years, there have been many Hoaxes, all generated by the Radical Left Dumocrats, for purposes of destroying our Country. RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA, UKRAINE, UKRAINE, UKRAINE, Global Warming, Impeachment Hoax #1, Impeachment Hoax #2, Men in Womens Sports, Transgender for Everyone, and now, the decimation, or destruction, of AI, commonly known as Artificial Intelligence And I, as President of the United States, will not stand by and let this happen, Trump said on Truth Social last month.
He tied the current attacks on AI to earlier efforts by environmental activists and progressive politicians to demonize data centers and high-tech infrastructure that bring jobs and prosperity to local communities. It all began with an attack on our Data Centers, until people realized how wealthy and prestigious they were for the Communities in which they were built. Higher Salaries, Lower Taxes, and Safer Streets, was the result, and the crazed Data Center attack has largely failed, so now, in much the same way as they changed the term Global Warming to Climate Change, in that it covers a much larger territory of doubt, they are going straight at AI, Trump said.
President Trump emphasized that his administration will champion AI growth rather than smother it with regulation, while still using existing law to punish genuine abuses. We will not in any way hinder or stifle the Growth of this incredible Industry. Rather, we will cherish it, help it, and watch over it, as it grows! However, we will also be looking for BAD, and we can do that, very easily, with our already existing Criminal and Civil Justice System. For this purpose, I am forming the AI Force, much like I did Space Force, which has been a tremendous SUCCESS, in my First Term, Trump said.
According to CBS News, President Trump will soon formally announce that he has selected Jay Clayton to serve as AI Czar, while allowing him to retain his current position as Director of National Intelligence. Claytons dual role would marry technological strategy with intelligence oversight, a structure conservatives argue is essential to counter Chinas ambitions and protect Americans freedoms in the digital age.
CBS News reported that Jay Clayton will likely be the White Houses 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. With AI poised to reshape the global economy, the anticipated appointment of Clayton and the creation of an AI Force reflect a distinctly conservative approach: unleash private-sector innovation, confront left-wing fearmongering, and ensure that American powernot bureaucratic control or foreign rivalsdefines the future of artificial intelligence.
