President Donald Trump has announced the creation of a new unit called the Super Intelligence Force. The abbreviation for this newly formed entity is SIF.
Trump uses the term superintelligence to mean artificial intelligence. Artificial Superintelligence has existed as a concept in AI research for decades. That established term describes self-improving systems that vastly exceed human capabilities.
Today's technology does not yet match that standard. The source notes that future superintelligence will likely create a better name for itself when it arrives.

The newly formed SIF will manage communications with several groups. Those groups include consumers, interest groups, and religious organizations.
The unit will also reach out to critical infrastructure operators and artificial intelligence companies. Leadership for the SIF includes intelligence director Jay Clayton and FTC chair Andrew Ferguson.
Other government officials leading the effort are undersecretary for research Emil Michael and CTO Scott Kupor. The group reports directly to President Trump and chief of staff Susie Wiles.
White House meeting preceded the launch
This presidential announcement follows a recent meeting of technology chief executive officers at the White House. During that gathering, executives signed an agreement.
The agreement was described as morally binding. It involved independent third-party auditors verifying that AI models operate as intended.
The newly announced Super Intelligence Force will oversee its coordination duties while government officials and industry leaders navigate these testing frameworks.
