Trump Announces Formation of AI "Super Intelligence Force"

President Trump announced the creation of a Super Intelligence Force (SIF) after meeting with leaders from major AI companies, saying the group will coordinate with the federal government to keep the United States at the forefront of advanced AI. He directed use of the term “Super Intelligence” instead of artificial intelligence and said the new task force will lead outreach to consumers, public interest and religious groups, infrastructure providers and industry. Trump named former and current officials to lead the effort, placing Jay Clayton at the helm and indicating others including the FTC chair, a Pentagon technology official and the head of the Office of Personnel Management will report to him and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles; he also said an AI czar would be named within days.

The companies present - OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, Nvidia and SpaceXAI - signed a one-page White House accord committing to voluntary safety standards and regular collaboration. The accord outlines four layers of controls and audits intended to ensure models behave as intended, including internal evaluations, third-party audits and board-level reviews, and calls for ongoing meetings to establish standards and best practices. Trump described the commitments as “morally binding,” framing the approach as industry self-policing backed by a new government-coordinated task force.
