President Donald Trump announced October 4 that the federal government is forming a Super Intelligence Force to coordinate its work on artificial intelligence under the administration’s preferred “Super Intelligence” terminology.

A coordinating body with a 120-day report

The president’s official post names Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton, FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson, Under Secretary of War for Research and Engineering Emil Michael, and OPM Director Scott Kupor as leaders. Reuters reports that the task force charter calls for a report within 120 days assessing risks, opportunities and the federal role.

The force is a material follow-up to the September 29 terminology order already covered at this canonical URL. The announcement describes coordination and stakeholder engagement; it does not itself create binding private-sector rules or disclose an enforcement mechanism.
