Trump Forms Super Intelligence Force to Cement US AI Dominance
President Trump establishes the Super Intelligence Force (SIF) to centralize US policy and replace AI terminology with Super Intelligence.
In a massive shift in how the United States approaches advanced technology, President Donald Trump has announced the creation of the Super Intelligence Force (SIF). This new federal task force is designed to centralize executive branch policies and spearhead national efforts in the realm of advanced computation, ensuring the United States maintains its global lead.
The move is part of a broader administrative overhaul. Under a new executive order titled "Inaugurating the Era of Super Intelligence," the administration is officially moving away from traditional terminology. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the terms "Artificial Intelligence" and "AI" are being replaced by "Super Intelligence" and "SI" across all executive branch operations.
A New Era Bigger Than the Internet
Announcing the formation via Truth Social, President Trump emphasized the monumental scale of this technological shift. He noted that the development of Super Intelligence is viewed by many as a milestone even greater than the Industrial Revolution or the birth of the Internet.
"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 will protect the interests, and improve the lives, of all Americans,"Trump stated, framing the initiative as a cornerstone of national interest and prosperity.
The SIF will act as the primary liaison between the federal government and a wide array of sectors, including:
- Private Super Intelligence companies
- Critical infrastructure providers
- Public interest groups and safety advocates
- Religious organizations
- Consumers and civil society
High-Level Leadership and the White House Accord
The SIF will not be managed by a single individual but by a powerful four-member leadership team. This group will bridge the gap between national security, regulation, and technological innovation. The directors appointed to lead the agency include:
- Jay Clayton: Director of National Intelligence
- Andrew Ferguson: Federal Trade Commission Chairman
- Emil Michael: Chief Technology Officer and Under Secretary of War for Research and Engineering
- Scott Kupor: Office of Personnel Management Director
This elite leadership team will report directly to President Trump and Chief of Staff Susie Wiles.
The announcement follows a high-level White House luncheon where the President met with the titans of the tech industry. The gathering resulted in the White House Accord on Super Intelligence, a pact where the world's most influential technology companies confirmed their responsibilities to the American people regarding the safe development of these technologies.
Tech Giants Unite Under New Mandate
The meeting included a "who's who" of the technology sector, featuring leaders such as Elon Musk (SpaceX and Tesla), Mark Zuckerberg (Meta), Sundar Pichai (Google), and Jensen Huang (NVIDIA). Trump described the sector's growth as "unbelievable," claiming it may be the biggest development in human history.
Industry leaders expressed a commitment to the new framework. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg noted the importance of providing the public with confidence that the technology operates as intended, while Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei stressed the necessity of collaborative execution among all stakeholders.
Legislative Roadmap Ahead
While the administration is currently applying existing statutory definitions of artificial intelligence to "Super Intelligence" on a temporary basis, permanent changes are on the horizon. The executive order has set a strict 60-day deadline for the Assistant to the President for Science and Technology (APST) to propose new legislative language to Congress. This proposal will aim to establish a formal federal statutory definition for Super Intelligence and update existing US laws to align with this new technological era.
