Jay Clayton will have 120 days to deliver a report to Donald Trump on AI threats and how to avoid its 'over-regulation'.

The US Director of National Intelligence will head a new task force dedicated to artificial intelligence, with a mandate that is broad and at times contradictory, according to a report from RFI.
As a first step in carrying out that mandate, Jay Clayton must deliver a report to President Donald Trump within 120 days addressing the threats posed by artificial intelligence as well as the means to avoid what has been described as the 'over-regulation' of the sector.
The report notes that the leading figures in the technology industry have in turn pledged to follow a code of conduct, against a backdrop in which US authorities are seeking to regulate the development of AI without stifling innovation.
The dual objective assigned to this task force — identifying risks while limiting what is seen as excessive regulation — illustrates the tensions currently surrounding US public policy on artificial intelligence, according to the same source.
The report has not yet been published and no additional details about the task force's composition or precise timeline were disclosed in the available reporting.
