An article summarized by CBS News:
President Trump announced the creation of a new “Super Intelligence Force” (SIF) following a White House meeting with leaders of major AI companies. Trump said the force will coordinate with the federal government to keep the U.S. ahead in “super intelligence,” his preferred term for artificial intelligence. The group will engage with technology companies, consumers, public-interest organizations, religious groups and infrastructure providers.
Trump said DNI Director Jay Clayton will lead the force, alongside FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson, Pentagon technology official Emil Michael and OPM Director Scott Kupor. The announcement comes after Trump indicated he would soon name an AI czar, with CBS previously reporting that Clayton was likely to receive the role. The force will report directly to Trump and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles.
The announcement follows a meeting where executives from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, Nvidia and SpaceXAI agreed to voluntary AI safety standards. The companies committed to multiple layers of controls and audits, including internal evaluations, independent audits and board reviews, as well as regular meetings to develop safety standards and best practices. Trump described the commitments as “morally binding” and said he was seeing significant self-policing from the industry.
