TRUMP has named Jay Clayton, the director of national intelligence, to lead a new federal AI task force described by the White House as the “Super Intelligence Force.” The move follows a White House meeting with leaders from major AI companies, where Trump said they had signed a voluntary accord intended to self-police AI development. The administration frames the task force as a coordinator for the U.S. federal effort to maintain leadership in AI and to protect Americans’ interests.
The task force is expected to engage a broad range of stakeholders, including consumers, public interest groups, religious organisations, critical infrastructure providers and AI companies. It will report directly to the president and his chief of staff, Susie Wiles. Among the named participants are FTC chairwomanwoman (in the article) Andrew Ferguson, Emil Michael, the Pentagon’s chief technology officer, and Scott Kupor, director of the Office of Personnel Management.
The article characterises the initiative as part of a government-wide push to position the United States at the forefront of what Trump calls “World in Super Intelligence,” a framing that the piece notes is broader than prior industrial revolutions or the Internet.
