Trump put the intelligence chief in charge of U.S. AI policy
Oct 05, 2026
Trump’s new “Super Intelligence Force” could shape how AI touches everyday life—from benefits and immigration processing to privacy, surveillance, and consumer protections.
On Oct. 4, Trump named DNI Director Jay Clayton to lead a cross-agency task force alongside the FTC, Defense Department, and OPM. It follows an order to rebrand federal “AI” language as “super intelligence” and comes after big AI companies reportedly agreed to voluntary safety commitments—raising the question of what’s enforceable.
Watch for what this task force can (and can’t) do in the next 120 days. New AI news every weekday — subscribe so you don't miss tomorrow's story.
