Trump Launches Super Intelligence Force

What happened

President Donald Trump created a federal “Super Intelligence Force” to coordinate the government’s artificial intelligence work and keep the United States ahead in the technology. He named Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton to lead it with FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson, Pentagon technology official Emil Michael and Office of Personnel Management Director Scott Kupor. The move followed a White House meeting where major AI companies signed voluntary safety and self-policing pledges, including internal controls and outside audits. Trump said the force would protect Americans’ interests and improve their lives while preserving U.S. leadership. The group will report to Trump and chief of staff Susie Wiles. Clayton said it would produce a report within 120 days.

Left-leaning outlets framed the force as a public-facing coordination effort, while stressing that safety worries remain unresolved. CNN centered Trump’s promise to engage consumers, public-interest groups, religious organizations, infrastructure providers and AI companies. The Guardian emphasized that Trump has largely brushed aside concerns about AI development and data centers while prioritizing growth and competition with China.

The New York Post emphasized that Clayton will oversee the force as Trump resists pressure to slow AI development. Fox Business lingered on Trump’s push to rebrand AI as “super intelligence”.
