Trump establishes Super Intelligence Force

On 4 October 2026, Trump announced on Truth Social the creation of a new Super Intelligence Force. Earlier reports said the body would be led by Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton and would coordinate federal government efforts to ensure the United States stays ahead in superintelligence. Follow-up reports on 5 October said the body is in fact the "Super Intelligence Force" (SIF), unrelated to actual superintelligence, and is responsible for coordinating outreach to consumers, interest groups, religious organisations, critical infrastructure operators and AI companies. Its leadership, besides Jay Clayton, includes FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson, Under Secretary for Research Emil Michael and CTO Scott Kupor, and reports directly to the President and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles.
