Trump unveils his new Super Intelligence Force
This new task force is Trump's latest response to the debate over AI safety.
Get smart on it
President Trump announced the formation of a Super Intelligence Force, a new government task force that will be led by the national intelligence director and other administration officials. The task force was created following Trump's earlier decision to rebrand AI as "super intelligence" and his appointment of an AI czar, and it has 120 days to produce a report on the risks and opportunities presented by AI. According to the task force's charter, it aims to develop plans for responding to threats from AI while preventing overregulation that could stifle innovation and competition. The task force leadership has emphasized that a major risk to the United States is not being first in advancing AI, particularly in relation to countries like China.
