US President Donald Trump announced on Sunday, October 4, the creation of a new federal task force called the Super Intelligence Force to coordinate artificial intelligence efforts across federal agencies. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said the task force will work with consumers, civil society groups, religious organizations, critical infrastructure providers, and AI development companies to ensure the United States remains the world's leader in AI. Jay Clayton, Director of National Intelligence, will head the task force, with Andrew Ferguson, Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, Emil Michael, Chief Technology Officer of the Pentagon, and Scott Cooper, Director of the Office of Personnel Management, serving as group leaders. The group will report directly to Trump and Susie Wiles, the White House Chief of Staff. The announcement follows Trump's meeting with executives from leading AI companies at the White House on Tuesday, September 29, at which those executives signed a voluntary agreement calling for stronger internal controls and auditing of AI models. On the same day, a fact sheet released by the White House stated that Trump had signed an executive order directing federal agencies to switch to using the terms Super Intelligence and SI instead of Artificial Intelligence and AI.
