US President Donald Trump announced the creation of the Super Intelligence Force (SIF), a federal task force designed to centralise executive branch policies and serve as the government's primary liaison across civil society, safety advocacy, and private industry regarding advanced AI.
The SIF is directed by a four-member leadership team consisting of Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton, Federal Trade Commission Chairman Andrew Ferguson, Chief Technology Officer and Under Secretary of War for Research and Engineering Emil Michael, and Office of Personnel Management Director Scott Kupor.
The executive order sets a 60-day deadline for the Assistant to the President for Science and Technology (APST) to submit proposed legislative language to Congress to establish an updated federal statutory definition of “Super Intelligence” and recommend conforming amendments to existing US laws.
