The Super Intelligence Task Force will coordinate criminal and civil cases involving the technology, following a presidential memo that established its mandate.
The US Justice Department announced on 5 November that its Super Intelligence Task Force was operating. It will coordinate the department’s criminal and civil cases involving superintelligence (SI), The Register said.
President Donald Trump ordered the task force’s creation in a 13 October memo. Its mandate gives the department a dedicated structure for coordinating cases and enforcement involving the technology.
The memo also directs the task force to recommend enforcement priorities on public safety and SI misuse and develop guidance for prosecuting unlawful conduct involving SI. Its coordination role includes resolving conflicts among investigations and cases across departments and US attorneys' offices.
The department said the task force would protect US leadership in SI against foreign abuse of the technology, including by states, state-backed groups, criminal enterprises, individuals and companies. Senior officials also identified attacks on individuals, critical infrastructure and other national security interests as concerns.
The memo also gives the task force a role in legislative proposals intended to prevent what it calls burdensome regulation. Separately, task force vice chair Emil Michael, the Pentagon’s chief technology officer, said the team would release details about its SI regulatory landscape later in November.
The governments adopted a 2026–2027 action plan in Uzhhorod, while officials confirmed delivery of $1.47 million in Azerbaijani energy equipment for repairs in Ukraine.
