US President Donald Trump announced Sunday the creation of a "Super Intelligence Force" to coordinate federal initiatives aimed at maintaining US leadership in cutting-edge technology.
"Following the historic White House Accord on Super Intelligence, where the world's most important technology companies came together, and confirmed their responsibilities to the American people, I am announcing the formation of the Super Intelligence Force (SIF)," Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social.
Trump said the emerging sector represents a transformation "bigger than the Industrial Revolution, and the internet," adding that the panel will work to safeguard public interests while advancing capabilities.
The president said the body will coordinate federal interactions with consumers, public interest groups, religious organizations, critical infrastructure providers and commercial developers.
The leadership team will include Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton, Federal Trade Commission Chairman Andrew Ferguson, Under Secretary of War for Research and Engineering and Chief Technology Officer Emil Michael, and Office of Personnel Management Director Scott Kupor.
Trump said the group will report directly to him and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles.
The force will have 120 days to prepare its findings, The Wall Street Journal newspaper reported Saturday.
The task force will examine existing laws and potential steps Congress could take while working with the technology industry to identify risks and opportunities.
Its charter calls for developing plans to respond to threats posed by advanced AI, while avoiding regulations that could hinder innovation and competition.
The task force will also review how breaches, hacks, model jailbreaks and other AI-related incidents are reported to the government, and recommend ways to improve the federal response under existing authorities.
Its formation follows a White House meeting on Tuesday between President Donald Trump and technology executives, including OpenAI President Greg Brockman, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang.
Trump said that the heads of the largest US tech companies signed a "morally binding" agreement to put controls on artificial intelligence, including internal safety monitoring and independent external reviews of their systems.
Trump has emphasized maintaining US leadership in technology while favoring voluntary industry safeguards as opposed to tighter government regulation.
