Welcome to Tech Beat, your daily read on the technology stories that matter.
The Trump administration has created what it is officially calling the Super Intelligence Force, and yes, that is the real name. Jay Clayton, former SEC chair, has been tapped as the administration's AI czar to lead it. It is an unusually bold branding choice for a government initiative, and it signals just how seriously the White House wants to be seen taking artificial intelligence as a geopolitical priority.

The project is drawing attention not for spectacle but for its transparency, offering a rare, honest look at what AI-assisted creative production actually involves in practice.
