Trump expected to name former SEC chair Jay Clayton as White House AI czar

  • —Clayton chaired the SEC during Trump's first term and took a hard line on ICOs
  • —The appointment is unconfirmed and based only on a CNN report
  • —The scope of the role and its crypto-policy remit remain undisclosed
Why it matters: Putting a seasoned markets regulator in charge of AI policy could align US oversight of AI and digital assets.
