Trump names AI czar to head White House task force
US President Donald Trump has chosen members to lead a new AI task force to coordinate the administration's response to the rapidly evolving technology.
President Donald Trump unveiled a White House initiative on Sunday to oversee the administration's approach to artificial intelligence (AI). The newly formed task force, dubbed the "Super Intelligence Force" (SI), is set to be overseen by a team of key officials including the Director of National Intelligence, Jay Clayton; the Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, Andrew Ferguson; the Pentagon's Chief Technology Officer, Emil Michael; and the Director of the Office of Personnel Management, Scott Kupor.
Speaking via a Truth Social post, Trump affirmed the task force's mission to collaborate with various stakeholders such as consumers, public interest groups, religious organizations, critical infrastructure providers, and AI companies. Despite earlier promises to create an AI force, Trump has thus far resisted any stringent regulation that would impose safety measures on this rapidly advancing technology.
Trump emphasized that the administration intends to foster and nurture the growth of this "incredible" industry, rather than impede or restrict its progression.
