US President Donald Trump announced the creation of a new task force to coordinate federal efforts in the field of artificial intelligence and ensure the country's continued leadership in this area. According to the announcement made on Sunday, Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton was brought in to lead this new structure.

New Artificial Intelligence Task Force

In a social media post on Sunday, US President Donald Trump announced the establishment of a new federal-level working group to oversee and develop artificial intelligence technologies.

President Trump stated that he rebranded the concept of artificial intelligence, calling it 'super intelligence', and announced that this newly established unit would be named the 'Super Intelligence Force'.

Leader and Members of the Task Force

Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton was appointed to lead the new federal artificial intelligence task force, with the aim of protecting the country's position in the global arena.

The working group also includes Federal Trade Commission Chairman Andrew Ferguson, Pentagon Chief Technology Officer Emil Michael, and Office of Personnel Management Director Scott Kupor.

Reporting Process and Stakeholders

This newly formed federal artificial intelligence working group will report directly to President Donald Trump and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles.

As part of its activities, the task force will engage with consumers, public interest groups, religious organizations, critical infrastructure providers, and artificial intelligence companies.

Step Following the White House Summit

This official announcement came right after President Trump hosted top executives from leading artificial intelligence companies at the White House last week.

It was stated that during the meeting, executives signed a voluntary memorandum of understanding committing to self-regulate the development of the technology.
