President Donald Trump on Sunday, October 4, named Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton as his administration's artificial intelligence czar and head of a new task force he calls the “Super Intelligence Force.”

Trump said the group will “coordinate the effort of the Federal Government to ensure that America continues to lead the World in Super Intelligence.” Trump has pushed to use the term “super intelligence” in place of artificial intelligence.

Clayton will lead the task force with Federal Trade Commission Chairman Andrew Ferguson, Emil Michael, the Pentagon's under secretary for research and engineering, and Scott Kupor, director of the Office of Personnel Management. The group reports to Trump and White House chief of staff Susie Wiles.

The task force is expected to consult consumers, public interest groups, religious organizations, operators of critical infrastructure and AI companies.

“The risk of not being first is high,” Clayton told The Wall Street Journal. “Not being first increases the identified, and unidentified, risks, particularly from our adversaries.”

The announcement followed a White House meeting on September 29 at which, Trump said, technology executives signed an AI “constitution” to regulate themselves. The announcement gave no details on oversight or regulation, and the White House did not answer ABC News' request for more information.
