The task force is expected to submit a report within 120 days, systematically assessing the risks and opportunities brought by advanced AI, and clarifying the federal government's future role in AI safety, national security, and industry regulation.
Clayton stated that if the U.S. falls behind in the AI race, it could inherently increase both known and unknown risks, especially when facing U.S. adversaries. Therefore, the policy starting point of this special task force is not simply to restrict AI development, but rather to simultaneously address two goals: 'maintaining technological leadership' and 'controlling security risks.'
