Trump’s Super Intelligence Force orders a report on AI risks

Members also agreed to create channels for AI companies to warn officials early about jailbreaks (tricks that get a model past its safety rules), hacks and breaches. A committee to join up law enforcement and consumer protection work is planned too, with the Federal Trade Commission, the Justice Department and other agencies on it. The White House account says the group considered no new laws or rules.

Jay Clayton, the Director of National Intelligence who chairs the force, called the meeting “very good” in an interview with CNBC. He said it built on last month’s accord between Trump and AI company leaders. The force now has three subcommittees, Clayton said, covering reporting and response, critical infrastructure, and law enforcement.

Clayton was appointed AI czar in early October, and he told the WSJ on 3 October that the White House had given the force 120 days to report, PYMNTS notes.

For buyers of AI tools, the early-warning protocols are the part to watch: they cover how AI companies report breaches, hacks and jailbreaks.
