Earlier, the Wall Street Journal reported that the White House is assembling a working group that will have to prepare a report within 120 days on the risks and opportunities of artificial intelligence (AI), as well as determine the responsibilities of the federal authorities in this area. As noted by the Director of National Intelligence of the United States Jay Clayton, who, according to the newspaper, headed the “Forces of Superintelligence,” this group is designed to ensure US leadership in the field of AI.
“In accordance with the Superintelligence Executive Order,... I am announcing the creation of the Superintelligence Force (SIF),” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
According to him, Clayton, US Federal Trade Commission Commissioner Andrew Ferguson and others will be involved in managing the organization. The "force" is intended to ensure that the US continues to "lead the world" in the development of superintelligence.
"The Superintelligence Force will coordinate government engagement with consumers, public interest groups, faith-based organizations, critical infrastructure providers, and superintelligence companies," the president added.
At the end of September, Trump signed an executive order directing government agencies to call artificial intelligence “superintelligence.”
Earlier, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said the company would not go public in 2026 amid concerns about the safety of AI. Altman is convinced of the possibility of creating a system that people will not control.
