Trump launches Super Intelligence Force to lead on AI

Summarised from 5 outlets · Updated 4 Oct, 14:48 · Archive

President Trump announced a new Super Intelligence Force to coordinate the government's artificial intelligence efforts.

President Trump announced the creation of a new Super Intelligence Force tasked with coordinating the government's efforts to keep the United States at the forefront of rapidly developing artificial intelligence technology. The announcement came after Trump met with leaders of the country's largest artificial intelligence companies.

Jay Clayton, the director of national intelligence who leads the US's 18 intelligence agencies, was named to head the task force as White House AI czar. Clayton brings significant government experience, having previously served as the top federal prosecutor in Manhattan and as chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission during Trump's first term.

The new force will be responsible for coordinating the government's engagement with a broad range of stakeholders, including religious organisations, service providers, consumers and AI companies. This multi-sector approach suggests an effort to balance technological advancement with wider societal considerations.

Clayton has indicated that while AI represents a 'gamechanger', it also poses 'a threat', according to his remarks during his Senate confirmation hearing as director of national intelligence. The task force's formation reflects the administration's focus on maintaining American competitiveness in the rapidly evolving field of artificial intelligence.
