“Following the Historic White House Accord on Super Intelligence, where the World’s most important Technology Companies came together, and confirmed their responsibilities to the American People, I am announcing the formation of the Super Intelligence Force (SIF),” he posted on Truth Social.

“The Super Intelligence Force is tasked with coordinating the effort of the Federal Government to ensure that America continues to lead the World in Super Intelligence, which many say is bigger than the Industrial Revolution, and the Internet, and will protect the interests, and improve the lives, of all Americans.”

“The Super Intelligence Force will coordinate the Federal Government’s engagement with Consumers, Public Interest Groups, Religious Organizations, Critical Infrastructure Providers, and Super Intelligence Companies,” Trump announced.

Regarding the composition of the task force, the U.S. President stated that it will be led by Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton; Federal Trade Commission Chairman Andrew Ferguson; Under Secretary of War for Research and Engineering and Chief Technology Officer Emil Michael; and Office of Personnel Management Director Scott Kupor.

These officials will report directly on the progress of their work to Trump and Chief of Staff Susie Wiles.

On the same day, Trump signed an executive order directing federal agencies to use the terms “Super Intelligence” and “SI” instead of “Artificial Intelligence” and “AI,” read a fact sheet released Tuesday by the White House.
