Trump Announces ‘Superintelligence Force’ to Coordinate Federal AI Efforts

US President Donald Trump announced on Sunday the formation of a “Superintelligence Force,” aimed at coordinating federal government efforts in the field of artificial intelligence.

The initiative is intended to help ensure the United States maintains its global leadership in the field, placing coordination across the federal government at the center of that goal.

Protecting Americans’ interests is another stated objective, alongside improving their lives through advances in the technology.

The announcement set out those broad aims but offered no further details in the information provided about the force’s structure, membership or timetable.
