Trump announces 'Super Intelligence Force' to oversee AI policy

Trump said the body will be led by Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton. He also said it will coordinate the government's engagement with the public.

Two other participants were named. Federal Trade Commission Chair Andrew Ferguson and Undersecretary of Defense for Research and Engineering Emil Michael are also part of the task force, according to the announcement. No other members are named in the excerpt. No budget, start date, deadline, staff count or reporting requirement is given, and the excerpt does not state whether the group will issue recommendations, draft legislation, or hold public meetings. No timeline for its work is provided.

The stated aims fall into two areas: maintaining US leadership in AI development and coordinating government engagement with the public. The named participants represent national intelligence, federal trade enforcement, and defence research and engineering. The name of the body refers to superintelligence, a technology the excerpt does not describe or define.
