Trump creates 'Super Intelligence Force' AI task force, names Jay Clayton to lead it
President Trump announced via Truth Social the formation of a federal task force called the Super Intelligence Force, appointing Jay Clayton as its head. The group, which also includes FTC chair Andrew Ferguson, Pentagon official Emil Michael, and OPM director Scott Kupor, must produce a report on AI's risks and opportunities within 120 days and will report directly to Trump and chief of staff Susie Wiles.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The move follows Trump's earlier proposal for an 'AI Force' and his online poll about rebranding the term 'artificial intelligence,' suggesting an effort to put a distinct White House stamp on AI policy. Bringing together officials from intelligence, antitrust, defense and personnel agencies could signal an attempt to centralize federal AI oversight at a moment when tech executives have publicly urged caution on rapid AI development.
- Trump named Jay Clayton to lead the newly created Super Intelligence Force.
- The task force must deliver a report on AI risks and opportunities within 120 days.
- Members include officials from the FTC, Pentagon, and Office of Personnel Management, reporting to Trump and Susie Wiles.
