The United States officially established the “Super Intelligence Force.”
Led by the Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton, with participation from FTC Chair Andrew Ferguson, the Pentagon’s CTO Emil Michael, and OPM Director Scott Kupor, it reports directly to Trump and the White House Chief of Staff.
The list itself is already quite interesting:
Intelligence, competition regulation, defense technology, and the personnel system.
AI is being folded into the intelligence, regulatory, and defense frameworks at the same time.
So this is no longer just a question of “whether AI should be developed,” but rather “who will coordinate, who will set the rules, and who holds the national-level command authority over this technology.”
When you look at these recent moves together—appointing an AI lead in the U.S., establishing the Super Intelligence Force, and pushing AI companies toward self-regulation—the signals become increasingly clear:
AI is gradually evolving from an ordinary technology industry into a national-level strategic capability.
Once the technology is built into national strategy, the competition it faces in the future won’t be just other companies, but other countries.
