The White House has formed a "Superintelligence Working Group" that will assess AI risks and government responsibilities within 120 days.

The White House has formed a new "Superintelligence Task Force," led by U.S. Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton, which will submit a report within 120 days on the risks and opportunities posed by artificial intelligence as well as the responsibilities the federal government should assume. Clayton will effectively take on the role of the Trump administration's point person for AI affairs, and said that if the United States falls behind other countries in the AI competition, it could amplify known and unknown risks from rival nations and other sources. Task force members include senior officials such as Vice President Vance, Defense Secretary Hegseth, and Treasury Secretary Bessent, while external advisers include David Sacks and former Secretary of State Rice. The task force will work with AI companies to identify risks rather than replace the industry's own safety mechanisms, while also assessing existing laws, potential congressional legislation, and the government's mechanisms for handling incidents such as data breaches, hacker attacks, and model jailbreaks. Its overall goal is to reduce risks while maintaining America's AI leadership and to avoid restricting innovation and competition through regulation.
