WASHINGTON — The task force President Trump announced on Sunday is called the Super Intelligence Force because that is the name he wants the government to use. CBS News reported the post. He said the force would see that America keeps the lead in super intelligence and would work with the public, religious organizations, infrastructure providers, and the companies.
Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton is at the helm. With him: Andrew Ferguson of the Federal Trade Commission, Emil Michael at the Pentagon, and Scott Kupor at the Office of Personnel Management. They report to the president and to Susie Wiles.
The same announcement is on the politics page, with Clayton’s photograph. It is not a technology note. The Technology desk keeps the labs and the companies, not the name the president told the agencies to use.
