# White House Forms AI Task Force

On October 4–5, 2026, President Donald Trump announced the federal “Super Intelligence Force,” led by Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton, to coordinate government engagement on AI and assess its risks and benefits. The group includes officials from the Federal Trade Commission, Department of Defense, and Office of Personnel Management, and is expected to report within 120 days. Its review covers national security, cyber incidents, consumer privacy and safety, existing laws, and whether further legislation is needed. No solicitation, contract award, funding, or acquisition timeline has been announced.

- AI, cybersecurity, privacy, risk-management, and critical-infrastructure contractors can map their capabilities to the task force’s stated review areas and prepare for potential stakeholder engagement.
- The task force’s recommendations may influence federal AI priorities and future agency acquisition requirements, but do not establish new procurement obligations or opportunities at this stage.
- Because the group is due to report within 120 days, companies should track its recommendations and any resulting agency guidance or consultations for concrete changes to acquisition needs.
