Trump creates Super Intelligence Force with Jay Clayton as AI czar
President Donald Trump announced a new task force called the Super Intelligence Force to oversee artificial intelligence efforts in the United States.
New leadership appointed for task force
The group is led by Jay Clayton, who currently serves as the director of national intelligence. Trump also named Andrew Ferguson from the Federal Trade Commission and Emil Michael from the Department of Defense to join the team. Scott Kupor, the Office of Personnel Management's director, was added to lead personnel matters within the organization.
First task involves risk assessment report
The newly formed group must produce a report on AI risks and opportunities within 120 days. This initial assignment was first reported by The Wall Street Journal before other outlets covered the announcement. The president stated the force will coordinate federal efforts to maintain American leadership in super intelligence.
Collaboration planned with various groups
The task force intends to work with consumers, public interest groups, and religious organizations on AI issues. Critical infrastructure providers and super intelligence companies will also be included in the coordination effort. Trump described the group as a mechanism to ensure America continues to lead the world in this field.
