3 prediction markets price this story:

• Jay Clayton — the market puts it at 84%, with $6k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to "Yes" if the White House announces Donald Trump's selection of Jay Clayton as AI czar after the issuance date and before January 1, 2027. Otherwise, it resolves to "No." Readers often mistakenly believe that any mention of Jay Clayton in relation to AI policy counts toward resolution, but only an official White House announcement of his selection as AI czar matters.
• Will Trump name an AI czar by October 4, 2026? — the market puts it at 34%, with $10k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 5 Oct 2026. For the "Yes" outcome, Donald Trump or his administration must explicitly announce a specific individual as the AI czar (or future AI czar) by October 4, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET. The announcement does not need to be a formal appointment, but it must clearly name the person and use the title "czar" or a derivative. Media reports, speculation, acting appointments, or mere candidate reveals do not count toward resolution.
• Will Trump not announce his AI czar pick by December 31, 2026? — the market puts it at 18%, with $8k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to "Yes" if Donald Trump does not explicitly name an individual as his AI czar by December 31, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET. It resolves to "No" if he makes such a qualifying announcement before that deadline. Readers often mistake media speculation or reports of acting officials for a valid announcement, but only explicit declarations from Trump or his administration count.
