Trump creates a “Super Intelligence Force” led by Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton
On October 4, Trump announced the “Super Intelligence Force” on Truth Social and put Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton in charge. Clayton previously chaired the SEC and served as U.S. attorney in Manhattan. His vice chairs are FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson, Pentagon technology chief Emil Michael and OPM Director Scott Kupor; Vance, Hegseth and Bessent are also members. The group has 120 days to report on AI’s risks and opportunities. Its charter calls for plans against “SI-enabled threats” while preventing “overregulation” that would stifle innovation. Trump has so far opposed binding AI regulation.
