  "account": "President Donald Trump has appointed Jay Clayton, the director of national intelligence, to lead a new federal task force focused on artificial intelligence. The president has dubbed the task force \"The Super Intelligence Force\" to emphasize its significance, as AI is being touted as a technology bigger than the Industrial Revolution and the Internet. The announcement follows a recent meeting where top AI executives signed a voluntary agreement to self-regulate the development of the technology. The task force's mission is to coordinate federal efforts to maintain America's leadership in \"Super Intelligence,\" while also protecting American interests and improving lives for all citizens. The group will engage with a wide range of stakeholders, including consumers, public interest groups, religious organizations, critical infrastructure providers, and AI companies. Other members of the task force include Andrew Ferguson, chairman of the Federal Trade Commission; Emil Michael, the Pentagon's chief technology officer; and Scott Kupor, the director of the Office of Personnel Management.",
