Trump unveils 'Super Intelligence Force' to oversee AI policy
The president named his national intelligence chief as the taskforce's head as worries over AI grow.
President Donald Trump has established a new taskforce, dubbed the "Super Intelligence Force," to oversee artificial intelligence policy. The team, headed by Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton, will ensure the US maintains its technological leadership in AI development and coordinate government interaction with the public.
This move follows Trump's renaming of AI to "Super Intelligence" in a September executive order, amid concerns that the term "artificial intelligence" sounded "fake." The taskforce will work alongside various stakeholders, including consumers, public interest groups, religious organizations, critical infrastructure providers, and Super Intelligence companies.
Top tech executives, such as those from OpenAI, Anthropic, SpaceX, and Google, have signed a "morally binding" pact on AI safety. The force will report directly to Trump and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles. Clayton, who took office as the national intelligence director in August, has previously emphasized the importance of addressing AI's dual nature as both an opportunity and a threat.
The rebranding of AI to "Super Intelligence" has sparked debate among experts, with some questioning the logic and potential for confusion.
