History

Historical Context

Congress created the National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence in August 2018 to guide U.S. defense AI, issuing a final report in March 2021 that called for a $40 billion AI budget and warned of a China-led AI arms race. Building on that mandate, President Donald Trump announced a 2024 Super Intelligence Force and named DNI Jay Clayton as AI czar to centralize AI oversight.
