- President Trump announced the formation of a Super Intelligence Force led by national intelligence director Jay Clayton.
- The force aims to coordinate federal efforts to maintain U.S. leadership in super intelligence, which Trump claims is bigger than the Industrial Revolution and the Internet.
- Trump signed an executive order rebranding AI as 'super intelligence,' a term used by tech executives in a recent White House safety pledge.
- The task force, chaired by Clayton, includes FTC Chair Andrew Ferguson and other officials as vice chairs, and has 120 days to produce a report on AI risks and opportunities.
- Clayton warned that the biggest risk is not being first in AI, while the task force's charter emphasizes preventing overregulation and fostering innovation.
