Trump Administration Sets up Task Force on AI

Jay Clayton will lead the group, which has 120 days to assess AI risks and advise on federal oversight.

  • The Super Intelligence Force has 120 days to prepare its report assessing federal responsibility for AI oversight and the technology's risks. This deadline shapes the administration's timeline for defining the government's regulatory role.
