formally appointed national intelligence chief Jay Clayton on Sunday to lead a White House working group on artificial intelligence, amid warnings from researchers about the potential dangers of this technology.

The Super Intelligence Force, led by Clayton, has the "mission to coordinate the federal government's effort to ensure that the United States remains the world leader in superintelligence, which many say is bigger than the Industrial Revolution and the internet, and it will protect the interests and improve the lives of all Americans," Trump said in a post on his Truth Social network.

The U.S. head of state decided in late September to rename AI as "superintelligence" and signed an executive order for all government services to use that term.

The group led by Clayton "will coordinate the government's relationships with consumers, large companies, religious organizations, critical infrastructure operators, and superintelligence companies," Trump explained.

According to an official document accessed by The Wall Street Journal, Clayton and his team are tasked with presenting proposals "to address the threats that AI poses to our society."

The group will have to carry out these tasks "while avoiding the over-regulation" that penalizes innovation and competition.

The working group will leave most of the management of AI risks in the hands of the industry itself, according to what some officials have warned the Wall Street Journal, while collaborating with companies in the sector.

On Tuesday, following a meeting at the White House, top executives in the AI sector made a series of commitments in this area, such as hiring independent supervisors and conducting more exhaustive internal controls.
