Trump’s big AI move: ‘Super Intelligence Force’ launched, Jay Clayton named AI czar

US President Donald Trump has announced a new federal task force called the “Super Intelligence Force”, or SIF, to coordinate Washington DC’s approach to artificial intelligence as the technology rapidly develops.

Trump has also tapped Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton to lead the effort, placing the intelligence chief at the centre of the administration’s strategy for what the president now prefers to call “Super Intelligence”.
