Was President Trump right to name intelligence chief Jay Clayton to also serve as the White House AI czar?
On October 4, 2026, President Trump named Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton to simultaneously serve as the White House 'AI czar,' leading a new government 'Super Intelligence Force.'
Clayton is not particularly qualified for either position, a situation common in the Trump administration. This just makes him doubly ill-qualified.
One person running intel and setting AI policy is a lot of power in one office. If you're voting yes, where's your line on how much one official should control?
