Trump unveils ‘Super Intelligence Force’ to oversee AI policy
It comes after the president signed an executive order on 29 September to rename AI as Super Intelligence, after previously saying the word artificial made it sound "fake".
US President Donald Trump has established a new "Super Intelligence Force" to oversee artificial intelligence policy, according to a statement posted on Sunday. The taskforce, led by Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton, will coordinate the federal government's engagement with various groups and companies involved in the development and use of AI technology.
Clayton, who assumed the role in August, has emphasized the need to address both the opportunities and threats posed by AI. The taskforce will consist of representatives from the Federal Trade Commission, Department of Defense, Office of Personnel Management, and several top tech companies. Trump previously signed an executive order renaming AI as "Super Intelligence" in an effort to shed the perceived "fake" connotation of the term.
While some industry leaders support tighter regulation of AI, Trump has largely left the issue to companies to self-regulate.
