Trump’s potential AI czar, Jay Clayton, helped pioneer the SEC’s crypto crackdown

Özet: Kripto piyasasında önemli gelişmeler yaşanıyor.

Securities and Exchange Commission chairman has had a busy career since first tangling with the crypto industry more than a decade ago, and now the frequent appointee of President Donald Trump is reportedly on the verge of taking a job as the administration’s artificial intelligence czar.

That AI czar job seems to have a decidedly different remit than what David Sacks had when he served Trump as the combined crypto and AI czar.

If Clayton gets the new job, it’ll focus on the administration’s AI Force to oversee the rapidly growing domestic industry.

However, it’s unclear what the task might entail as the president counters those who have sounded alarms over the safety issues posed by increasingly sophisticated machine intelligence.

The job doesn’t seem to have crypto on its agenda, though the two fields have major overlaps, and Trump’s first czar, David Sacks, handled both topics.

Sacks left his crypto czar role in March, and the White House’s crypto efforts have since been led by adviser Patrick Witt.

Clayton, who did not respond to a message from CoinDesk, previously served as the U.S.

attorney for the Southern District of New York before being appointed this year as Trump’s director of national intelligence.

If he becomes a leader in the positioning of the new technology, the AI industry could note his record as a watchdog for digital assets.
