Chaired by the Director of National Intelligence, Jay Clayton, the group is tasked with assessing cyber, biological and model control risks, and requiring laboratories to report any incidents.
The White House's Task Force on Superintelligence began work on October 15, with a 120-day roadmap. It is chaired by Jay Clayton, Director of National Intelligence, supported by three vice presidents: Emil Michael (Under Secretary of Defense), Andrew Ferguson (Chairman of the FTC) and Scott Kupor (Director of the OPM). Its members include Vice President JD Vance, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.

It is also responsible for implementing the superintelligence agreement signed by the heads of the major laboratories. On the agenda: an evaluation report commissioned from the president's scientific council, protocols requiring laboratories to report their cyber breaches and incidents to the government, a coordination committee with law enforcement and consumer protection, as well as a study on the effects of AI on employment.
