据两位知情人士向美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）透露，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普预计将提名杰伊·克莱顿担任白宫新任人工智能事务主管。
其中一位消息人士称，特朗普最早可能于周五宣布有关克莱顿的任命决定，克莱顿目前担任国家情报总监。
特朗普上月宣布，计划组建一支“人工智能特遣部队”并设立人工智能事务主管一职，因为美国政府面临越来越多要求为该技术的快速发展设置监管护栏的呼声。
特朗普周二在白宫召集了多位人工智能及科技行业首席执行官举行会议，最终签署了一项新承诺，旨在更好地“自我监管”各自公司的人工智能模型。
特朗普此前曾向美国新闻网站Axios表示，克莱顿是担任人工智能事务主管的合适人选。哥伦比亚广播公司（CBS News）率先报道称，克莱顿是该职位的热门人选。
一位白宫官员对CNN表示：“任何人事任命公告都将由总统直接宣布。在此之前的任何报道都是毫无根据的猜测。”
消息人士称，克莱顿曾担任曼哈顿联邦首席检察官，并在特朗普首届任期的大部分时间里领导美国证券交易委员会，预计他将继续担任国家情报总监一职。
他于今年7月获得参议院确认，领导美国情报界。克莱顿接替了比尔·普尔特尔，后者是一位颇具争议的房地产高管，没有国家安全相关经验，特朗普任命其担任代理国家情报总监，任期仅40天。
在确认听证会上被问及人工智能问题时，克莱顿表示，这项技术是“游戏规则改变者”，它“不仅是机遇，也是威胁”。
“当一件事物既是机遇又是威胁时，你最好全面掌握它，”克莱顿说道。
风险投资家戴维·萨克斯曾于2026年3月之前担任特朗普的人工智能和加密货币事务主管，后因作为政府特殊雇员的任期届满而辞职。他目前共同担任总统科学技术顾问委员会主席。
萨克斯在人工智能相关问题上仍对总统拥有相当大的影响力。
周二，特朗普对记者表示，在人选问题上他“距离做出决定非常近”。“我认为会在未来三到四天内宣布人选。”
特朗普补充称，在做出最终决定前，他希望先与“相关企业”以及国会众议院共和党领导层沟通。
特朗普明确表示，相较于日益高涨的公众担忧，他将把赶超中国、保留人工智能驱动的经济收益列为更高优先级，并此前曾将对人工智能的担忧称为“骗局”。
Trump is expected to name Jay Clayton as AI czar

President Donald Trump is expected to pick Jay Clayton to be the White House’s new czar of artificial intelligence, two sources familiar with the discussion told CNN.
The president could announce his decision about Clayton, who is director of national intelligence, as early as Friday, one of the sources said.
Trump announced last month that he was planning to create an “AI Force” and name an AI czar as the government faces growing calls to impose guardrails on the technology’s rapid development.
Trump gathered several AI and technology CEOs at the White House on Tuesday for a meeting that culminated in the signing of a new commitment aimed at better “self-policing” their companies’ AI models.
Trump previously told Axios that Clayton would be a good AI czar. CBS News first reported that Clayton was the frontrunner for the position.
A White House official told CNN, “Any personnel announcement will be announced directly by the President. Any reporting until then is baseless speculation.”
Clayton, who previously served as the top federal prosecutor in Manhattan and led the Securities and Exchange Commission during the majority of Trump’s first term, is expected to remain in his role as director of national intelligence, the sources said.
He was confirmed by the Senate in July to lead the US intelligence community. Clayton succeeded Bill Pulte, a controversial housing executive with no national security experience whom Trump installed as acting director for a 40-day tenure.
When asked about AI during his confirmation hearing, Clayton said the technology is a “game changer” and that it’s “not only an opportunity but a threat.”
“When something’s both an opportunity and a threat, you better get your arms around it,” Clayton said.
Venture capitalist David Sacks previously served as Trump’s AI and cryptocurrency czar until March 2026, when he stepped down after reaching his time limit as a special government employee. He now co-chairs the president’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology.
Sacks has continued to have considerable influence on the president when it comes to AI issues.
On Tuesday, Trump told reporters that he was “very close to making a decision,” regarding his pick for the role. “I’ll be naming one, I’d say, over the next three or four days.”
Trump added that he first wanted to check with “the companies” as well as House GOP leadership in Congress before making his decision.
The president has made clear that he considers outpacing China and preserving AI-driven economic gains a higher priority than addressing growing public concerns, and previously referred to fears over AI as being a “hoax.”
