Trump's new "AI czar" starts a trip to Silicon Valley: he will meet with technology tycoons such as Jen-Hsun Huang and Altman. According to Bloomberg, Jay Clayton, the U.S. director of national intelligence and Trump's new "AI czar," will go to Silicon Valley to meet with some of the most influential executives in the AI ​​industry to start his new term. Clayton According to people familiar with the matter, Clayton will meet with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg. This will be Clayton's first meeting with technology industry leaders since taking charge of a new team responsible for coordinating AI affairs in the federal government. Many of these executives had been in the same room as Clayton just last week. At that time, Trump held a lunch meeting at the White House and signed a voluntary security agreement with AI developers. Days later, Trump announced on his Truth social platform that Clayton would lead a "superintelligence force" that would report to Trump himself and White House chief of staff Susie Wiles. Clayton said Wednesday that companies promoting AI will also have public safety in mind as they pursue the technology. "These models must have controls and monitoring mechanisms that are acceptable not just to developers and businesses, but to the American people," Clayton told CNBC. "We're going to hold the industry to that commitment." As part of his trip to Silicon Valley, Clayton met on Wednesday with Nikesh Arora, CEO of cybersecurity company Palo Alto Networks. The two discussed AI safety issues in a joint interview with CNBC. In the interview, Clayton defended the government's plan to use existing liability laws as a key means of holding the industry to account. "If you want to survive, you have to play by the rules," he said. A spokesman for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence said Clayton remains in regular contact with a variety of internal and external stakeholders. The companies had no comment on Clayton's plans. via cnBeta.COM - Chinese industry information website (author: Source: Phoenix Technology)
