President Donald Trump has announced the creation of a new "Super Intelligence Force" to oversee federal efforts on artificial intelligence. The task force will be led by Jay Clayton, the director of national intelligence. Trump has rebranded AI as "super intelligence," emphasizing its potential to revolutionize society more than the Industrial Revolution or the Internet.
The announcement followed a meeting last week with top AI company executives at the White House, where they agreed to sign a voluntary accord to self-regulate AI development. The task force aims to coordinate federal efforts to ensure America maintains its global leadership in this emerging field. It will also focus on protecting American interests and improving the lives of all citizens.
In addition to Clayton, the task force includes representatives from the Federal Trade Commission, the Pentagon, and the Office of Personnel Management. The group will report directly to Trump and his chief of staff, Susie Wiles.
