Trump announces 'Super Intelligence Force' to oversee AI policy
The president named his national intelligence chief will head the taskforce as worries over the technology grow.
The United States has established the Super Intelligence Force, a new task force tasked with overseeing artificial intelligence (AI) policy, according to President Donald Trump's announcement on social media. The task force, led by Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton, aims to ensure that the US maintains its leadership in AI development and coordinates its engagement with the public.
Other members include Federal Trade Commission Chair Andrew Ferguson and Undersecretary of Defense for Research and Engineering Emil Michael. The creation of this force follows Trump's announcement last week that he would set up a board to monitor AI safety, following a morally binding pact signed by top tech executives to regulate the technology.
President Trump also signed an executive order on September 30, renaming AI as "super intelligence" to avoid the technology appearing "fake," a move that some prominent tech leaders, like Elon Musk, have already adopted.
