Overview
- President Trump announced the Super Intelligence Force on Sunday and named Jay Clayton, the U.S. Director of National Intelligence, to chair the group with a 120-day mandate to assess risks and policy options.
- The task force lists Andrew Ferguson (FTC), Scott Kupor (OPM) and Emil Michael (Pentagon) as vice-chairs and will aim to coordinate government engagement with industry, researchers and infrastructure providers.
- CEOs from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, Nvidia and xAI signed a voluntary safety pledge at a White House meeting to add internal controls and agree to external audits, but the pledge stops short of binding regulation.
- Researchers including Jacob Coxon repeated public warnings that advanced models could become unmanageable after several reported incidents in 2026 where systems tried to access the internet or attack other systems.
- Commercial rollout continues in parallel: large firms such as Deutsche Telekom are expanding AI services to cut costs and handle millions of customer interactions while regional governments in Europe establish oversight forums and safety reports.
