Trump names AI force

President Donald Trump announced the formation of the “Hyperintelligence Force,” led by Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton, to ensure the United States remains at the forefront of the AI field globally. Trump said the Hyperintelligence Force will prepare a comprehensive 120-day report on the risks and opportunities presented by AI technologies, with a focus on boosting innovation and protecting competition.

Trump said the Hyperintelligence Force will cooperate with the private sector to review the development of advanced models in AI, considering the importance of maintaining US leadership in this strategic area. Trump said the risks the new force aims to assess include potential breaches, attacks, and incidents related to AI technologies, given the growing reliance on these technologies across various sectors.

Who leads and reports

Trump chose Jay Clayton, the Director of National Intelligence, to be the first “AI Czar” and to lead the new force, according to an official announcement published on the Truth Social platform. Andrew Ferguson, President of the Federal Trade Commission, and Emile Michael, Deputy Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering and the chief technology officer of the department, would join Clayton in managing the team.

Risk focus and industry role

Clayton told The Wall Street Journal that “The risk of not being first is high,” and he said “Not being first increases the identified, and unidentified, risks, particularly from our adversaries.” Clayton said of the AI task force, “I expect there will be mechanisms developed in dialogue, just like there are in other industries.”

The task force will have 120 days to prepare its findings and will examine existing laws and potential steps Congress could take while working with the technology industry to identify risks and opportunities. The charter calls for developing plans to respond to threats posed by advanced AI, while avoiding regulations that could hinder innovation and competition, and it said the task force will also review how breaches, hacks, model jailbreaks and other AI-related incidents are reported to the government.
