Trump Names Jay Clayton to Lead New ‘Super Intelligence Force’
President Donald Trump announced the creation of a federal “Super Intelligence Force” and appointed Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton to lead it. The task force is expected to assess AI’s risks and opportunities within 120 days and recommend the federal government’s role, while coordinating with AI companies, consumers, public-interest groups and critical-infrastructure providers.
The task force could shape the U.S. government’s approach to AI risk, national security and regulation.
That’s really what it’s called and there’s actually someone in charge of it.

If the future of AI has you worried, there's no need to fret now because the Super Intelligence Force is here. At least, that's what President Donald Trump wants Americans to think. Trump has gone so far to rebrand the term "artificial intelligence" with the creation of his new task force meant to maintain US' pole position in the industry. To lead the task force, Trump tapped Jay Clayton, the country's director of national intelligence.
"The Super Intelligence Force is tasked with coordinating the effort of the Federal Government to ensure that America continues to lead the World in Super Intelligence," Trump wrote in his Truth Social post. The president detailed that the newly-formed group would work with consumers, public interest groups, religious organizations, critical infrastructure providers and "super intelligence companies."
