Trump introduced a new “Super Intelligence Force” aimed at shaping AI policy, appointing leading tech executives and pledging stricter safety measures.

Former President Donald Trump announced the creation of a “Super Intelligence Force,” a new task force designed to oversee artificial intelligence development and enforce stricter safety standards.

Task Force Composition

The group includes veteran tech executives such as Jay Clayton, former SEC chairman and current AI policy adviser, alongside leaders from major AI firms and cybersecurity specialists.

Mandate and Goals

According to the announcement, the task force will focus on shaping federal AI policy, evaluating emerging risks, and coordinating with industry to ensure that AI systems are developed responsibly.

Trump emphasized the need for “stronger safety measures” to prevent potential misuse of advanced AI technologies, citing concerns about autonomous weapons and deep‑fake manipulation.

Industry Reaction

Tech leaders have offered mixed responses, with some praising the initiative’s focus on safety, while others warn that political oversight could stifle innovation.

  • Calls for transparent reporting on AI research
  • Guidelines for ethical deployment of AI tools
  • Collaboration with international regulators

The task force will convene quarterly meetings with stakeholders from the private sector, academia, and government agencies to review progress and adjust policies as needed.

Critics note that previous attempts at AI regulation have struggled to keep pace with rapid technological advances, highlighting the challenge ahead for the newly formed group.

The initiative marks the first major AI oversight effort launched by a former U.S. president, signaling a shift toward more direct political involvement in the technology’s governance.
