President Donald Trump announced Sunday that a new “Super Intelligence Force” will coordinate how the federal government handles artificial intelligence, which the White House often calls “Super Intelligence.”

In a Truth Social post, Trump said the force will work with consumers, public-interest and religious groups, critical infrastructure providers, and AI companies. He named Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton, Federal Trade Commission Chair Andrew Ferguson, Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering Emil Michael, and Office of Personnel Management Director Scott Kupor as leaders. The group reports to Trump and White House chief of staff Susie Wiles.

CNN, Politico, and the Washington Examiner carried the Sunday announcement and the same core leadership slate. Fox News reported the Sunday announcement and that the force reports to Trump and Susie Wiles, without naming the four leaders. Politico and related desks say Clayton will also serve as the administration’s AI czar while keeping the DNI post—a dual role that puts the spy chief at the center of both national intelligence and AI policy. Trump first floated an “AI Force” last month and hosted major AI company chiefs at the White House last week, where executives signed a nonbinding “White House Accord on Super Intelligence” on self-policing.

Backstory: the White House has pushed a light-touch approach that prioritizes beating China and growing the AI economy, even as safety incidents and data-center politics raise pressure for harder rules. Clayton told senators during his confirmation hearing that AI is both an opportunity and a threat the government must “get your arms around.”

What we know: Sunday Truth Social rollout; Clayton, Ferguson, Michael, and Kupor named; reports to Trump and Wiles; Clayton keeps DNI while taking AI czar duties.

What we don’t: statutory authority, budget, or a firm timeline for any legislative AI framework the force may propose.

Engage: follow White House and ODNI statements for the force’s first meeting and any early review Clayton’s team may publish.
