President Donald Trump announced Sunday the creation of a "Super Intelligence Force," a White House task force charged with coordinating the federal government's artificial intelligence strategy, naming Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton as its lead figure.
Clayton will be joined by FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson, Under Secretary of War for Research and Engineering Emil Michael, and Office of Personnel Management Director Scott Kupor. The group reports directly to Trump and chief of staff Susie Wiles.
The announcement followed what Trump described as the "Historic White House Accord on Super Intelligence," in which major technology companies met with Trump at the White House and, in his words, "confirmed their responsibilities to the American People."
Clayton is a pointed choice for the crypto industry. As SEC chair during Trump's first term, he filed 57 enforcement actions against crypto firms and initiated the $1.3 billion lawsuit against Ripple in December 2020 — a case that became the template for Gary Gensler's later enforcement posture. After leaving the SEC he joined crypto advisory roles at One River Asset Management and Fireblocks. Trump's post did not specify the task force's mandate or timeline.
