President Trump launches Super Intelligence Force to steer AI policy
President Donald Trump announced on 5 October that he had created a Super Intelligence Force to guide U. S. artificial-intelligence policy, naming Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton as its head, according to the BBC. Earlier, Trump had hosted a private dinner with Anthropic chief executive Dario Amodei at the White House, a meeting reported by multiple outlets.
The following week, the president convened a luncheon with CEOs of Anthropic, Meta, Alphabet, Nvidia and OpenAI, as detailed by CNBC. Around the same time, the Federal Trade Commission launched a probe into consumer-risk practices of major AI developers, including Anthropic and OpenAI, a development noted by Reuters and ABC News. Sources cited by CNN said the administration was also preparing to appoint Jay Clayton as an AI czar, a step that preceded the formation of the new taskforce.
