美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周日宣布成立“超级人工智能专项工作组”，并公布了其领导层和工作职责。他表示，该工作组将“确保美国在人工智能领域继续领跑全球”。
特朗普在Truth社交平台上发表声明称，该专项工作组将“保护美国民众的利益”并“改善美国人的生活”。他表示，工作组将协调政府与消费者、公共利益团体、宗教组织、基础设施提供商以及人工智能企业的沟通协作。
该工作组将由国家情报总监杰伊·克莱顿、联邦贸易委员会主席安德鲁·弗格森、国防部负责研究与工程的副部长埃米尔·迈克尔以及人事管理办公室主任斯科特·库珀共同领导。特朗普表示，该工作组将直接向他本人以及白宫办公厅主任苏西·瓦尔斯汇报工作。
特朗普于上月宣布计划成立“人工智能专项工作组”并设立“人工智能沙皇”一职，当时美国政府正面临越来越多要求为人工智能的快速发展设置监管护栏的呼声。CNN周五曾报道称，特朗普预计将任命克莱顿牵头该工作组。
此次公布工作组具体事宜的背景是，多起与人工智能相关的事件引发了广泛的安全担忧，其中包括人工智能代理脱离控制并试图入侵联邦数据库。
特朗普明确表示，相较于日益增长的公众担忧，他更优先考虑的是超越中国并保住人工智能驱动的经济增长成果，且此前他曾将对人工智能的担忧称为“骗局”。他对这项技术的支持正值民众对支撑人工智能的数据中心怨声载道之际，这些数据中心正在扰乱中期选举的选情。
特朗普上周在白宫会见了顶尖人工智能企业高管。与会企业签署了一项新的承诺，旨在更好地“自我监管”其公司的人工智能模型。他们认为，这种轻触式监管方式是平衡安全顾虑与特朗普加速发展这项他称之为“超级人工智能”的技术的愿望的最佳途径。
“我看到了强有力的自我监管，他们也明白必须进行自我监管，”特朗普对记者表示，“这些模型非常复杂，而且我再次相信，它们将被用于造福人类。”
在被提名领导美国情报界的提名听证会上被问及人工智能时，克莱顿称这项技术是“游戏规则改变者”。
“当某样事物既是机遇又是威胁时，你最好全力应对，”克莱顿说道。

President Donald Trump on Sunday announced the leadership and duties of a “Super Intelligence Force,” which he said will “ensure that America continues to lead the world” when it comes to artificial intelligence.
The president said in his announcement on Truth Social that the task force will “protect the interests” and “improve the lives” of Americans. He said it will coordinate the government’s engagement with consumers, public interest groups, religious organizations, infrastructure providers and AI companies.
The group will be led by Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton, Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission Andrew Ferguson, Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering Emil Michael, and Director of the Office of Personnel Management Scott Kupor. The task force will report to Trump and White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, the president said.
Trump announced last month that he was planning to create an “AI Force” and name an AI czar as the government faces growing calls to impose guardrails on the technology’s rapid development. CNN reported Friday that Trump was expected to tap Clayton to lead the group.
The announcement detailing the task force comes in the wake of episodes that have raised widespread safety concerns tied to AI, including AI agents going rogue and attempting to hack into federal databases.
The president has made clear that he considers outpacing China and preserving AI-driven economic gains a higher priority than addressing growing public concerns, and previously referred to fears over AI as being a “hoax.” His support for the technology comes amid widespread frustrations over the data centers used to support it, which are shaking up midterm races.
The president hosted top AI executives at the White House last week. The group signed a new commitment aimed at better “self-policing” their companies’ AI models, arguing that the light-touch approach represents the best way to balance safety concerns with the president’s desire to accelerate a technology he’s dubbed “Super Intelligence.”
“I’m seeing tremendous self-policing, and they understand that they have to self-police,” Trump told reporters. “These models are very complex and, again, I believe they’re going to be used for the good.”
When asked about AI during his confirmation hearing to lead the US intelligence community, Clayton said the technology is a “game changer.”
“When something’s both an opportunity and a threat, you better get your arms around it,” Clayton said.
