US President Donald Trump is expected to name Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton as his top adviser on artificial intelligence, a position Trump has previously described as an “AI tsar,” according to SCMP Economy citing a source familiar with the decision.

Clayton currently oversees 18 US intelligence agencies as the nation’s top spy and is expected to retain that role.

A White House official, according to the outlet, said any personnel announcement would be made directly by the president.
