US President Donald Trump has announced the creation of a new federal task force, the Super Intelligence Force (SIF), to centralise executive branch policies and spearhead national efforts in advanced artificial intelligence.
The move follows an executive order issued by the Trump administration that replaced the terms “Artificial Intelligence” and “AI” with “Super Intelligence” and “SI” across all executive branch operations.
The directive also gives the Assistant to the President for Science and Technology (APST) 60 days to submit proposed legislative language to Congress.
The order, titled “Inaugurating the Era of Super Intelligence”, established that the US government will no longer recognise or use Artificial Intelligence or AI as terminology in official settings to the maximum extent permitted by law. Under the presidential mandate, Trump said the SIF would serve as the government’s primary liaison with civil society, safety advocacy groups and private industry. He outlined a broad outreach effort to “ensure that America continues to lead the World in Super Intelligence”. “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”, he wrote. Trump said the SIF would coordinate the federal government’s engagement with “Consumers, Public Interest Groups, Religious Organizations, Critical Infrastructure Providers, and Super Intelligence Companies”. Trump said the leadership group would report directly to “the President of the United States (ME!) and the Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles”. The proposal is to establish an updated federal statutory definition of “Super Intelligence” and recommend conforming amendments to existing US laws.
