Editor's note
The creation of a dedicated 'Super Intelligence Force' to oversee AI policy reflects a growing recognition of the technological landscape's complexities, yet it also raises questions about the adequacy of existing frameworks to address emerging challenges. Naming the national intelligence chief as head underscores the dual-use nature of AI, highlighting both its potential and its risks in national security contexts.

Panel 1
A dimly lit office, filled with outdated computer monitors and stacks of paper. A visibly overworked employee, JIM, slumped in a chair, eyes glued to a screen showing a news clip of TRUMP making an announcement. Jim (muttering to himself)
Jim: Great, another task force. What does this one do again?
Panel 2
The same office, but Jim is now holding a crumpled piece of paper with the headline He’s looking at a framed picture of his children on the desk, clearly frustrated and overwhelmed. Jim (sighing)
Narrator: Trump Unveils Super Intelligence Force.
Jim: Super Intelligence Force"? Really? I don’t even know what AI is half the time.
Panel 3
A bustling hallway outside the office. Jim is walking past a row of cubicles, nodding to a coworker, LINDA, who looks equally stressed. As they pass, Linda holds up a newspaper showing the announcement, with a headline reading Linda (dryly) Jim (shrugging)
Narrator: Trump Names National Intelligence Chief to Head Super Intelligence Force.
Linda: At least they picked someone with a background in intelligence. Wonder how much he knows about AI.
Jim: Probably as much as I do. But at least it sounds impressive.
