President Donald Trump has formed the Super Intelligence Force, a new federal body that will coordinate the government’s strategy for AI, which the administration now refers to as “super Intelligence.”
President Trump announced the group Oct. 4 in a post on Truth Social. He said the task force will work to keep the U.S. ahead of other countries in the technology, which he wrote many consider “bigger than the Industrial Revolution, and the Internet.”
Four administration officials will lead the group: Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton; Federal Trade Commission chair Andrew Ferguson; Emil Michael, under secretary of war for research and engineering and chief technology officer; and Office of Personnel Management Director Scott Kupor. The group will report to President Trump and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles.
The force will manage the federal government’s engagement with consumers, public interest groups, religious organizations, critical infrastructure providers and AI companies.
The announcement follows the White House Accord on Super Intelligence, which President Trump said confirmed technology companies’ responsibilities to the American people. Signed after a Sept. 29 White House luncheon, the voluntary pact commits AI developers to safeguards, independent audits and board-level oversight. The same day, President Trump signed an executive order directing federal agencies to replace the terms “artificial intelligence” and “AI” with “super intelligence” and “SI” in official communications.
The post did not include a budget, staffing plan or timeline for the group.
