President Donald Trump announced a new task force on Sunday to manage the US government's approach to artificial intelligence. The group is called the "Super Intelligence Force." National Intelligence Director Jay Clayton will lead it. Other members include Federal Trade Commission Chair Andrew Ferguson and a senior Pentagon official. The task force will report directly to Trump and his chief of staff, Susie Wiles. It will work with technology companies, consumers, and other groups across the country. Trump said the goal is to keep the United States ahead in AI development. Last September, Trump signed an order replacing the term "artificial intelligence" with "super intelligence" in all government documents. The White House had already published an AI plan in 2025 and a national policy framework in early 2026.
