Trump announced plans for an AI oversight board after tech executives signed a voluntary pact he described as a 'morally binding' agreement to regulate AI, and later signed an executive order renaming AI as 'super intelligence'.
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 posted on Sunday.
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.
"The Super Intelligence Force will coordinate the Federal Government's engagement with Consumers, Public Interest Groups, Religious Organizations, Critical Infrastructure Providers, and Super Intelligence Companies," Trump wrote.
The taskforce's announcement follows growing pressure from prominent figures in the industry to tighten regulation of the technology.
Trump has dismissed calls for stronger oversight and largely left it to AI companies to regulate themselves.
The pact signed on 29 September includes the signatures of executives from top tech firms like OpenAI, Anthropic, SpaceX and Google.
On the same day, 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 experts have questioned the logic of the rebranding, arguing that the use of "super intelligence" could cause confusion as it refers to more advanced systems.
Some top tech leaders have already started to use 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.
The Tesla boss has recently been brought back into the US government to be part of a project to study the future of war.
AI outlook — possibilities, not facts
The 'Super Intelligence Force' will hold its first public meeting within the next 60 days to outline its engagement framework with consumers and public interest groups.

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.

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.
