President Trump announced a Super Intelligence Force to lock in American leadership on advanced AI, naming DNI Jay Clayton and other top officials to run the federal push.
President Trump on Sunday unveiled the Super Intelligence Force, a new coordinating body meant to keep the United States ahead in what he called a technology shift larger than the industrial revolution and the internet.
In a Truth Social post, he said the force will organize the federal government’s work on Super Intelligence and engage consumers, public interest groups, religious organizations, critical infrastructure providers, and the companies building the technology. The leaders will report to Trump and Chief of Staff Susie Wiles.
Just the News reported that Trump framed the move as the next step after a White House accord with major technology firms. Those companies, he said, had “confirmed their responsibilities to the American People.”
"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),"
Trump wrote. He then laid out the mission in plain terms.
"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 announcement is not a vague talking point. It names real officials, sets a reporting line to the West Wing, and ties the work to an earlier White House deal with industry rather than another open-ended study group.
Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton is among the leaders tapped for the Super Intelligence Force. So are Federal Trade Commission Chairman Andrew Ferguson; Emil Michael, the under secretary of war for research and engineering and chief technology officer; and Office of Personnel Management Director Scott Kupor.
Breitbart reported that Trump named Clayton to head the AI-focused task force after a White House meeting with AI executives on a voluntary self-policing accord. The same roster, Ferguson, Michael, and Kupor, appears in that account, with the group reporting directly to Trump and Wiles.
That mix matters. Intelligence, consumer protection, defense technology, and federal personnel sit at the same table. The structure treats Super Intelligence as a national capability, not a single-agency hobby or a Silicon Valley press tour.
Trump also said the force will coordinate federal engagement with the public, faith groups, infrastructure operators, and the Super Intelligence companies themselves. In other words, the White House wants one channel for both industry and the people who live with the results.
Trump cast the Super Intelligence Force as the follow-through on what he called the “Historic White House Accord on Super Intelligence.” In his telling, the world’s leading technology companies came together and accepted duties to the American public before the new force was stood up.
The sequence is deliberate. First the companies put commitments on the table. Then the administration named a leadership team to keep the federal side aligned and to keep American leadership from slipping.
He did not describe the force as a free-floating commission. He described a coordinating body with a clear chain of command: the named leaders answer to the president and his chief of staff. That is how you turn a summit photo into ongoing pressure.
The public brief does not spell out a full statute, budget line, or permanent org chart. What it does spell out is the job, coordinate the federal effort, guard U.S. primacy in Super Intelligence, and protect American interests while the technology scales.
Trump’s own words put the stakes high. He said many view Super Intelligence as bigger than the industrial revolution and the internet. Whether every analyst agrees with that scale, the policy choice is clear: the United States intends to lead, not rent the future from somewhere else.
Putting the director of national intelligence in the leadership mix signals that the administration sees strategic risk, not only commercial upside. Pairing that with the FTC chair and the Pentagon’s technology lead ties consumer impact and defense research to the same effort. Adding the OPM director brings the federal workforce into the picture, hiring, skills, and how government itself adopts the tools.
Religious organizations and critical infrastructure providers are listed as engagement targets alongside companies and consumer groups. That is a wider aperture than a pure industry working group. Power grids, hospitals, water systems, and faith communities all have skin in how Super Intelligence is deployed.
For taxpayers, the test will be whether the force actually knits agencies together and holds companies to the responsibilities they acknowledged at the White House. The announcement gives the public named officials and a direct reporting line to measure against.
America cannot afford to treat Super Intelligence as a spectator sport for bureaucrats and boardrooms. A force that answers to the president, coordinates the government, and keeps the country’s lead is the kind of seriousness the moment demands.
