Trump unveils ‘Super Intelligence Force’ to oversee AI policy
US President Donald Trump says he has created a new task force focused on artificial intelligence (AI), which will be led by Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton.
President Donald Trump has established a new task force called the "Super Intelligence Force" to oversee artificial intelligence (AI) policy. The task force, led by Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton, will coordinate the government's engagement with various groups including consumers, public interest groups, religious organizations, critical infrastructure providers, and super intelligence companies.
Additional members of the task force include Federal Trade Commission Chair Andrew Ferguson, Undersecretary of Defence for Research and Engineering Emil Michael, and Scott Kupor, Director of the Office of Personnel Management. Trump announced the task force following pressure from tech leaders like OpenAI's Sam Altman, who argued that the benefits of AI justify accepting some of its risks and that the technology should remain accessible to the public.
Trump previously dismissed calls for stronger oversight and left it to AI companies to regulate themselves. On the same day, Trump signed an executive order renaming AI as "super intelligence," despite some experts questioning the logic of the rebranding, as it could cause confusion as it refers to more advanced systems.
