White House “Super Intelligence Force” Adopts Charter, Orders AI Risk Report and Breach-Reporting Rules for Labs
At its first official meeting, the White House AI task force started a 120-day clock, commissioned a PCAST report on cyber, biosecurity and model-control risks, and assigned work on protocols for labs to report hacks and breaches to the government.

The White House AI task force, formally called the Super Intelligence Force, adopted its charter at its first official meeting on Thursday, Oct. 15, 2026, starting a 120-day window for its work, Semafor reported, citing an announcement shared with the outlet. Bloomberg separately reported the plan, citing a White House account of the meeting.
The task force agreed to commission a report from the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) on AI risk in three areas: cybersecurity and critical-infrastructure protection, biosecurity and dual-use applications, and model control and accountability.
Per Semafor, Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton, the task force’s chair, and National Cyber Director Sean Cairncross will lead a working group to implement the White House Accord on Super Intelligence that major AI CEOs signed this month. Defense Undersecretary Emil Michael will develop protocols for labs to notify the government of breaches, hacks and other cyber issues. FTC Chair Andrew Ferguson will lead a law-enforcement and consumer-protection committee with the Justice Department, and OPM Director Scott Kupor will work on critical-infrastructure protection and, with the Labor Department, on AI’s effect on jobs. Politico published the group’s charter earlier this month.
A White House official said the group will engage frontier model developers, consumer-protection and civil-liberties groups, industry and law enforcement. Semafor notes it is not yet clear how compliance will be enforced or whether the new reporting protocols will be legally required.
What this means for you: Nothing changes for everyday AI users today. If you build on frontier models or run a company that deploys them, expect federal incident-reporting expectations and a PCAST risk report within roughly four months.
