President Trump said a new task force led by Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton will coordinate federal engagement on advanced AI, and Elon Musk said he would rename SpaceXAI.
US President Donald Trump said he has created a Super Intelligence Force to coordinate government work on artificial intelligence, BBC News reported. He said Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton will lead the group.
Trump wrote that the force will coordinate federal engagement with consumers, public-interest groups, religious organizations, critical-infrastructure providers and companies working on advanced AI systems, BBC reported. It will report to the president and White House chief of staff Susie Wiles.
BBC named Federal Trade Commission chair Andrew Ferguson, Undersecretary of Defense for Research and Engineering Emil Michael, and Office of Personnel Management director Scott Kupor as other members. Clayton took office as national intelligence director in August after lawmakers rejected Trump's first choice, Bill Pulte, BBC reported.
On Sunday, Elon Musk said he would rename his firm's AI platform SpaceXAI as SpaceXSI and wrote that SpaceX is a super intelligence company, BBC reported. BBC also noted a 29 September industry pact signed by executives from firms including OpenAI, Anthropic, SpaceX and Google.
BBC said Trump has rejected calls for tighter AI oversight and has largely left rules to companies. No implementation timetable beyond the announcement was reported.
