President Trump is expected to name intelligence chief Jay Clayton as the administration's AI tsar, according to reports cited by Al Jazeera.
The possible selection comes amid increasing calls for the government to take a more active role in overseeing the rapidly developing artificial intelligence industry.
Clayton currently holds a role within the US intelligence apparatus, and his potential move into an AI-focused position would mark a shift in his responsibilities toward technology policy.
Details on the specific scope of the AI tsar role, including what authorities it might carry and when an announcement might be formalized, were not specified in the available reporting.
The move, if confirmed, would come as policymakers in Washington and elsewhere continue to debate how best to regulate and guide the growth of artificial intelligence technologies.
