Trump announces federal force to coordinate superintelligence policy
US President Donald Trump has announced a federal “Super Intelligence Force” to coordinate government work on advanced artificial intelligence. He said the body would engage with technology companies, public-interest groups and critical infrastructure providers, and would report to him and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles.
US President Donald Trump has announced the creation of a “Super Intelligence Force” to coordinate federal government efforts on advanced artificial intelligence and support the United States’ position in the technology. Trump announced the body in a post on Truth Social. He said it would protect Americans’ interests and improve their lives, and described superintelligence as a development that many people consider larger in significance than the Industrial Revolution and the internet.
The force will coordinate the government’s engagement with consumers, public-interest groups, religious organisations, critical infrastructure providers and companies developing superintelligence, according to the announcement. Trump said the group would be led by Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton, Federal Trade Commission Chairman Andrew Ferguson, Under Secretary of War for Research and Engineering and Chief Technology Officer Emil Michael, and Office of Personnel Management Director Scott Kupor. The group will report to Trump and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles.
The announcement did not provide details of the force’s legal status, staffing, budget or timetable for beginning its work. Trump said the move followed what he described as a White House accord involving leading technology companies. Under that accord, he said, the companies had affirmed responsibilities to the public.
The announcement places the new body at the centre of federal efforts to coordinate policy around advanced artificial intelligence. Its proposed contacts range from technology developers to infrastructure operators and community organisations. The supplied material does not identify the companies involved in the reported accord or specify the policy measures the force will pursue.
It also does not state whether the group will issue regulations, advise agencies or oversee particular AI programmes. The initiative nevertheless signals an effort by the administration to organise federal engagement with a technology Trump characterised as potentially transformative on a scale beyond earlier industrial and digital changes.
