Trump names national intelligence director Jay Clayton to lead new ‘Super Intelligence Force’ on AI

President Donald Trump has appointed Jay Clayton, the current director of national intelligence, to head a newly established task force dedicated to artificial intelligence, dubbed the "Super Intelligence Force." The task force aims to maintain America's leadership in "Super Intelligence," a term Trump claims surpasses the Industrial Revolution and the Internet in importance.

Trump's announcement followed a recent meeting with top AI industry executives at the White House, during which they reportedly signed a voluntary agreement to self-regulate AI development. The task force will engage with consumers, public interest groups, religious organizations, critical infrastructure providers, and AI companies to protect American interests and improve citizens' lives.

Key members of the task force include Andrew Ferguson from the Federal Trade Commission, Pentagon's chief technology officer Emil Michael, and Scott Kupor, director of the Office of Personnel Management. The task force will report to Trump and his chief of staff, Susie Wiles.
