America Leads in Super Intelligence.
The Super Intelligence Force is the White House task force charged with identifying the risks and opportunities of advanced Super Intelligence (SI) systems — and with keeping the United States first, without overregulation that would stifle American innovation.
A focused, 120-day review of America’s most important technology.
Chaired by Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton, the Super Intelligence Force brings together the Vice President, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of the Treasury and the White House Chief of Staff to coordinate the Administration’s approach to Super Intelligence.
The Task Force will work directly with industry to identify emerging risks and opportunities from advanced systems, and will recommend what responsibilities the Federal Government should — and should not — assume regarding the technology.
It will review warnings and notifications provided to the Government about breaches, hacks, model jailbreaks and other security issues, assess whether existing law is adequate, and advise on whether action by Congress is warranted.
Consistent with the President’s approach, the Task Force favors dialogue with industry and voluntary frameworks over prescriptive new rules. Under its charter, its work may be extended beyond the initial 120 days or its functions transferred to a Federal agency.
We stay the leaders in superintelligence, and the interests of the American people are put first.Jay ClaytonDirector of National Intelligence · Chair, Super Intelligence Force (paraphrased from remarks)
What the Task Force will do
Identify Risks & Opportunities
Work with industry to map emerging threats and opportunities arising from frontier Super Intelligence systems, from cybersecurity to scientific discovery.
Define the Federal Role
Recommend what responsibilities the U.S. Government should assume over the technology — and where industry is better placed to lead.
Review Security Notifications
Examine warnings and notifications provided to the Government about breaches, hacks, jailbreaks and other vulnerabilities in advanced models.
Strengthen Response Capacity
Recommend improvements to the Government’s ability to respond quickly and effectively to compromised or vulnerable systems.
Assess Existing Law
Review current statutes and notification mechanisms, and advise whether action by Congress is needed — avoiding overregulation that would stifle innovation.
Keep America First
Ensure the United States remains the world leader in Super Intelligence and maintains its competitive advantage over strategic rivals.

Inaugurating the Era of Super Intelligence
On September 29, 2026, President Donald J. Trump signed Executive Order 14434, replacing the terms “Artificial Intelligence” and “AI” with “Super Intelligence” and “SI” across the executive branch.
The order reflects the Administration’s view that today’s systems go beyond imitating intelligence — they unlock new forms of human creativity and discovery in science and medicine. The United States, the birthplace of artificial intelligence, has led its development for more than 70 years.
INAUGURATING THE ERA OF SUPER INTELLIGENCE
SEC. 1. PURPOSE. Advanced systems now possess capabilities beyond the original meaning of “artificial intelligence.” Federal terminology should reflect their transformative potential.
SEC. 2. IMPLEMENTATION. Executive departments and agencies shall use “Super Intelligence” and “SI” in official correspondence, public communications, websites, reports and policy documents. Existing regulations and historical documents need not be changed retroactively.
SEC. 3. DEFINITION. Pending new legislation, “Super Intelligence” carries the statutory meaning of “artificial intelligence” in 15 U.S.C. § 9401(3). Within 60 days, the Assistant to the President for Science and Technology shall propose legislative language establishing a distinct Federal definition.
SEC. 4. GENERAL PROVISIONS. Nothing in this order impairs existing agency authority; it shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and creates no enforceable rights.
The White House Accord on Super Intelligence
Signed alongside the Executive Order on September 29, 2026, the Accord is a voluntary framework under which America’s leading SI developers commit to four layers of controls around the capabilities, alignment, monitoring and oversight of their most powerful models. The President has called it “morally binding.”
Internal Oversight
Dedicated internal teams monitor frontier models through training and deployment.
Independent Audits
Companies engage outside auditors to assess their safety controls.
Board Review
Independent board committees review audit results and remediation.
Security Controls
Controls to track misuse risks — including cyberattacks and biochemical threats — and prevent unauthorized intrusion.
The Accord is voluntary: it contains no penalties, public-disclosure requirement or implementation deadline. A 10-member oversight board has been proposed.
Innovation first. Security always.
No Overregulation
The Task Force is designed to prevent burdensome rules that would slow American builders and hand the advantage to foreign competitors.
Partnership With Industry
Risk identification is developed together with SI developers, complemented by voluntary frameworks rather than prescriptive mandates.
National Security
Advanced systems must be protected against hacking, jailbreaks and misuse by hostile actors — at home and abroad.
Win the Race
“The risk of not being first is very high.” American leadership in Super Intelligence is essential to the nation’s prosperity and security.
