US President Donald Trump has unveiled a new taskforce focused on artificial intelligence (AI) – which he has renamed as Super Intelligence.
The new taskforce will be led by Jay Clayton, the director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton. Other members of the team include Andrew Ferguson, Federal Trade Commission chair, Emil Michael, undersecretary of defense for research, engineering and Scott Kupor, director of the Office of Personnel Management. They will report directly to the president and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles.
Last week Trump signed an executive order renaming AI as Super Intelligence, and the new taskforce aims to ensure the US’s lead in the technology’s development, and to coordinate the government’s engagement with the public
“The Super Intelligence Force will coordinate the Federal Government’s engagement with Consumers, Public Interest Groups, Religious Organizations, Critical Infrastructure Providers, and Super Intelligence Companies,” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social.
