Donald Trump

President Donald Trump is actively shaping federal artificial intelligence policy through a series of executive actions, voluntary industry agreements, and new administrative bodies. Most recently, Trump announced the creation of a Super Intelligence Force to coordinate AI outreach across the government. Led by Intelligence Director Jay Clayton and FTC Chair Andrew Ferguson, this new unit reports directly to the president and manages communications with AI companies, infrastructure operators, religious organizations, and consumers. In addition, Trump signed an executive order requiring federal agencies to adopt the term Super Intelligence. On the industry front, the administration secured the White House Accord on Superintelligence, a voluntary and morally binding AI code signed by tech CEOs, including Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk, which allows companies to establish their own rules without mandatory federal enforcement. The administration also launched America.gov, a unified digital portal for federal services powered by Google Gemini and xAI Grok chatbots. Meanwhile, relations with specific AI developers remain complex. Although Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei scheduled a dinner with Trump, a federal appeals court recently ruled that the administration can blacklist the company, which the Pentagon previously designated as a supply chain risk.
