Jay Clayton, the former SEC chair and current director of national intelligence, will be one of Trump’s leaders on AI.
President Donald Trump said Sunday that Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton will assume the newly created role of artificial intelligence czar, while continuing to oversee the U.S. spy community.
In a post on Truth Social announcing the decision, Trump said Clayton, among several officials, will lead the newly formed Super Intelligence Force. The goal, Trump added, is “to ensure that America continues to lead the World in Super Intelligence, which many say is bigger than the Industrial Revolution, and the Internet, and will protect the interests, and improve the lives, of all Americans.”

The government plans to introduce a simplified tax system from 2027, including the gradual removal of additional taxes imposed alongside Customs Duty, Deputy Minister of Economic Development Nishantha Jayaweera has announced.
Speaking at the official launch of the digital signature and paperless Customs declaration system, the Deputy Minister stated that the proposed reforms aim to make Sri Lanka’s taxation framework simpler and more convenient.
He explained that the government intends to streamline the existing tax structure by removing other levies charged in addition to Customs Duty, while introducing similar simplified procedures across other state institutions.
Jayaweera further stated that the integration of information technology into government institutions would be accelerated, describing the newly launched paperless Customs declaration system as an important milestone in the country’s digital transformation.
Highlighting the government’s broader digitalisation agenda, he said the ultimate objective is to fully digitalise all state institutions within a specified timeframe.
The Deputy Minister also referred to the National Single Window system adopted in other countries, which enables citizens, businesses and the trading community to access multiple government services through a single platform.
He noted that Sri Lanka is working towards establishing a similar system to improve efficiency and accessibility in public services.
