The U.S. Department of Justice has launched the Super Intelligence Task Force (DOJ-SITF) to safeguard American AI technology from foreign state actors, criminal organizations, and fraud.

The announcement follows President Trump's executive push to rename artificial intelligence as "super intelligence," a move that has confused the tech industry.
Major tech CEOs, including former Apple CEO Tim Cook and Google, have aligned with the administration despite potential political risks. With Democrat majorities likely to investigate tech ties to the administration post-midterms, companies face a precarious balance between securing government contracts and avoiding scrutiny.
