“We will not in any way hinder or stifle the growth of this incredible industry. Rather, we will cherish it, help it, and watch over it, as it grows!”

US President Donald Trump said Sunday he is creating a White House group to align the federal government's approach to artificial intelligence. The panel, which he calls the Super Intelligence Force, or SI, will be led by intelligence chief Jay Clayton, FTC chair Andrew Ferguson, Pentagon technology officer Emil Michael and personnel agency head Scott Kupor. Its work is to connect federal agencies with consumers, public-interest organizations, faith groups, infrastructure operators, and super-intelligence companies. The move comes amid pressure before November's midterm elections to address AI risks; Trump has opposed binding safety rules. The remark came in a September social media post where he announced plans to appoint an AI czar and signaled a permissive stance toward the industry's development. At a late-September White House lunch, about 20 tech leaders signed a voluntary safety pact that lacks official force.
