Künstliche Intelligenz: US-Geheimdienstkoordinator Clayton bekommt KI-Rolle

Künstliche Intelligenz (KI) is set to become a top priority for the United States, with the country's intelligence coordinator, Jay Clayton, taking on a leading role in its development. President Donald Trump announced that Clayton would lead the newly formed "Super Intelligence Force (SIF)" on his Truth Social platform. The SIF aims to coordinate government efforts in KI, as Trump previously referred to it as the "AI Force."

Trump has since shifted towards using the phrase "Superintelligence" instead of "Artificial Intelligence."

In addition to Clayton, Trump highlighted Andrew Ferguson, head of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), and Emil Michael, who holds a key position in the Pentagon's research and technology, as other key leaders in the group. Despite recent warnings of potential risks posed by KI, Trump vehemently opposes a slowdown in its development, asserting that the US must maintain its lead over China in the field.

Concerns have been raised by industry insiders about the potential for KI to cause the deaths of numerous individuals if it becomes uncontrollable. However, the US government dismisses these concerns as alarmist and believes in self-regulation by the industry. As the Director of National Intelligence, Clayton oversees all American intelligence agencies. During a recent meeting with KI executives, Trump emphasized the importance of retaining leadership in KI for the nation's security.
