President Donald Trump hosted major AI executives and ordered the U.S. government to stop using the term “artificial intelligence,” replacing it with “super intelligence,” alongside a “Joint Commitment on Frontier Responsibilities” safety pact. The executives’ pact was described as “deeply non-binding” and is voluntary, with “morally binding” offered as an alternative framing by Trump. As a result, the AI industry may see more emphasis on messaging and legitimacy—rather than enforceable safety changes—while underlying tensions around specific AI firms appear largely unchanged.
a16z published its second “State of Markets” report and found most companies do not track and disclose AI’s business impact over time. About 30% of S&P 500 companies report some quantifiable AI impact, but only ~2% track any metric. The report argues this means AI adoption is still early and that compute demand is likely to keep rising even as firms lack longitudinal measurement.
Pope Leo XIV objected to AI-generated images, arguing they lack the human basis of creativity. He said algorithms have no “spark of humanity.” The Church’s stance shifts toward urging a renewed alliance between the Church and artists rather than relying on image-generation software.
The Trump administration named Jay Clayton, director of national intelligence, to lead a new federal task force focused on artificial intelligence called the “Super Intelligence Force.” The group was set up in response to a voluntary accord Trump said AI executives signed at the White House last week. It will coordinate federal AI efforts and reach out to consumers, public interest groups, religious organizations, critical infrastructure providers, and AI companies.
Donald Trump announced the creation of a new Super Intelligence Force to coordinate the federal government’s AI “super intelligence” efforts under Jay Clayton and other administration officials. The task force has 120 days to produce a report on AI risks and opportunities. It will set plans for responding to AI-enabled threats while trying to limit overregulation and speed innovation.
President Trump named Jay Clayton, the director of national intelligence, to also lead a newly created “Super Intelligence Force.” The force was announced on Truth Social and includes Clayton plus three other officials. The appointment concentrates AI oversight at the highest intelligence level and adds political and privacy debate around government influence over AI and related data.
Pilot5.ai relaunched Pilot5 Legal as an adversarial legal assistant that has five frontier AI models independently analyze the same matter and converge on recommendations. It is the second launch from Pilot5.ai and it uses five models to preserve the strongest opposing view. The product now adds primary-source research, citation verification, and contract analysis with tagged sourced vs inferred claims and inspectable reasoning.
New Jersey lieutenant governor Dale Caldwell resigned after an investigation found he sexually harassed a staffer and violated ethics rules. On September 25th, he told PBS host Rob Nelson that he ran the findings through multiple AI platforms and claimed it “said” his position 59 times. The public explanation shifts from the investigation’s conclusions to an AI-generated or AI-assisted justification for his conduct, though the report’s findings themselves remain unchanged.
