The White House has established a "Superintelligence" task force, planning to develop an AI regulatory plan within 120 days.
The White House established the "Superintelligence" task force, defining the US government's role in artificial intelligence regulation and marking a significant step forward for the Trump administration in AI governance.
On October 3, according to The Wall Street Journal, U.S. Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton will head the "Super Intelligence" task force, effectively serving as Trump's overall coordinator for AI affairs.
The report notes that the working group must submit a report on AI risks and opportunities within 120 days, and make recommendations on the boundaries of the federal government's responsibilities. Clayton stated that if the United States lags behind other countries in the field of AI, it will exacerbate known and potential risks.
The work of the working group may continue after the report is completed, or be transferred to the relevant government agencies for implementation.
High-level personnel: Vice President and several ministers have joined.
The composition of the working group demonstrates the high importance the White House attaches to this issue.
U.S. Vice President Vance, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Secretary of the Treasury Bessenter, White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, and Deputy Chief of Staff Richard Walters are all among those listed.
The working group has three vice chairpersons with clearly defined responsibilities:
Army Under Secretary for Research and Engineering, Emil Michael, is responsible for coordinating AI companies;Scott Kupor, Director of the Human Resources Department, is responsible for liaising with critical infrastructure operators and other industry stakeholders.Federal Trade Commission Chairman Andrew Ferguson oversees consumer rights, covering areas such as child protection, privacy, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and freedom of association.
On the external advisory side, venture capitalist David Sacks and former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice will provide advice on national security issues.
According to The Wall Street Journal, the working group's approach is to collaborate with AI companies to identify risks, rather than replace existing industry self-regulation mechanisms.
At the same time, the working group will review the existing legal framework and potential legislative directions in Congress, and assess the government’s response mechanisms to security alerts such as data breaches, cyberattacks, and “jailbreaks” of AI models.
According to Wall Street Insights , on September 29, the Trump administration, together with the CEOs of six companies—Anthropic, Google, Meta, Nvidia, OpenAI, and XAI—signed a one-page document entitled "The White House Super Intelligence Agreement: A Joint Commitment to Frontier Responsibility."
Trump characterized it as a "moral constraint" and stated that the agreement was "in some ways like a constitution," with all parties implementing industry self-regulation through a four-tiered security mechanism that includes internal controls, external audits, and board oversight.
