据了解此事的消息人士透露，杰伊·克莱顿很可能将被白宫提名为人工智能沙皇，特朗普政府一直在讨论让他留任现任国家情报总监职务。
三位消息人士称，特朗普总统预计将很快做出最终决定。
特朗普上月宣布计划任命一名人工智能沙皇，并在社交媒体上写道：“仅限高智商人士申请！”此番表态正值围绕如何管理日益强大的人工智能技术的风险与潜力的辩论愈演愈烈之际。美国顶尖人工智能企业的领导人于本周二在白宫会面，签署了一套自愿性安全标准。
此次会议结束后不久，特朗普告诉记者，他计划在三到四天内任命一名人工智能沙皇。“我们找到了一位非同寻常的人选，”他说。
当被置评请求时，一名白宫官员告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻：“任何人事任命公告都将由总统直接公布。在此之前的任何报道都是毫无根据的猜测。”
参议院于7月确认克莱顿出任国家情报总监。作为一名职业律师，他此前曾担任曼哈顿联邦首席检察官，并在特朗普第一任期的大部分时间里领导美国证券交易委员会。
在第二任期初期，特朗普任命风险投资家戴维·萨克斯出任加密货币和人工智能沙皇。萨克斯于今年早些时候辞职，但仍继续担任总统科学技术顾问委员会联合主席。
随着政界和行业领袖讨论是否以及应如何监管人工智能技术，克莱顿将承担起聚焦人工智能的职责。
美国两家领先人工智能企业的首席执行官——Anthropic的达里奥·阿莫代伊和OpenAI的山姆·奥特曼——支持“放缓人工智能开发前沿步伐”的理念，以更好地管理其风险。一些议员呼吁为人工智能设置法律护栏。但包括萨克斯和英伟达首席执行官黄仁勋在内的其他主要行业参与者则认为，有关人工智能可能对人类构成威胁的严重警告言过其实。
特朗普对更严格的人工智能监管持怀疑态度，他称赞这项被他称为“超级智能”的技术带来的经济利益，并认为放缓发展速度可能会让中国人工智能实验室占据优势。他表示，联邦执法机构可以应对不良行为者。
在本周二的白宫峰会上，总统与美国一些最大人工智能企业的领导人——包括OpenAI、Anthropic、谷歌、Meta、英伟达以及埃隆·马斯克的SpaceXAI——承诺将采取多层内部控制和外部审计措施，确保其人工智能模型按预期运行。
特朗普称该协议“具有道德约束力”，且“几乎就像一部宪法”。
“我认为他们正在进行出色的自我监管，他们也明白必须做到自我监管，”他在与人工智能高管会面后不久说道。

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 CBS 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.
