WASHINGTON, Oct 5 — United States (US) President Donald Trump has announced the creation of a new “Super Intelligence Force” to coordinate the federal government’s efforts on artificial intelligence (AI), reported German Press Agency (dpa).
Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton is among those tapped to lead the initiative.
Trump said on his Truth Social platform on Sunday that the new body, known as the SIF, would be tasked with ensuring that the US “continues to lead the world in super intelligence”.
The president announced plans for an “AI Force” last month but has since sought to promote the term “super intelligence” instead of the more commonly used “artificial intelligence”.
Alongside Clayton, Trump named Federal Trade Commission Chairman Andrew Ferguson, Pentagon Chief Technology Officer Emil Michael and Office of Personnel Management Director Scott Kupor as leaders of the new group.
