US President Donald Trump says he has created a new task force focused on artificial intelligence, which will be led by Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton.

The "Super Intelligence Force" will work to ensure that the US continues to lead in the technology's development and will coordinate the government's engagement with the public, Trump said on social media.

Federal Trade Commission Chair Andrew Ferguson and Undersecretary of Defense for Research and Engineering Emil Michael will also be part of the task force.

Trump said last week that he would set up a board to oversee AI safety after top tech bosses signed what he described as a "morally binding" pact to regulate the technology.

On 30 September, the president also signed an executive order to rename AI as "super intelligence", after previously saying the word artificial made the technology sound "fake".

Some top tech leaders have already started using the new name, including multi-billionaire Elon Musk, who said on social media that he will rename his firm's AI platform SpaceXAI as SpaceXSI.

What to Watch

AI outlook — possibilities, not facts

  • The task force will issue initial recommendations on AI development strategy within 90 days.

Gong Huazhong, President of the Institute of Information Security: In the AI era, information security threats are like heavy rain, and a national protection system will be established with "AI versus AI"

Gong Huazhong, director of the National Information Security Research Institute, held a media exchange meeting two months after taking office. He pointed out that in the AI ​​era, information security attacks are as fast as heavy rain and traditional defenses are insufficient. He will use "AI versus AI" as the core strategy to promote four major tasks: AI automated source code detection and repair, using AI to strengthen penetration testing and offensive and defensive drills, establishing an AI automated threat information system, and building a national-level AI information security attack and defense sandbox to strengthen the in-depth defense of national information security.

Trump and Huang Jen-Hsun’s phone call highlights AI competition, experts warn that lack of security and governance will transfer risks to Taiwan

U.S. President Trump continuously posted on Truth Social calling AI risks a scam, and called Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang to emphasize that whoever wins AI will win. Huang Jen-Hsun said that all industries and people in the United States should become winners in the AI competition. Experts point out that competition between the United States and China and the lack of AI security governance may put Taiwan under the dual pressure of chip supply and compliance costs. Taiwan needs to strive for verifiable acceleration guardrails and a voice in common governance.
