WASHINGTON — The Trump administration’s Super Intelligence Task Force is scheduled to hold its first meeting Thursday at 4 p.m. Eastern, bringing together more than a dozen Cabinet members and senior officials to consider how the federal government should oversee advanced artificial intelligence. Rather than propose a new regulatory framework, the task force is expected to focus on whether existing liability laws can make AI companies answer for harm caused by their models. The meeting’s planned approach places responsibility on companies when their products cause damage, while leaving open a central legal question: whether an AI developer can be held liable when a system acts autonomously and breaks the law. Courts have not yet settled that question. Consumer protection laws already allow claims over defective products ranging from children’s toys to automobiles, but applying those principles to AI systems could test the boundaries of existing law. The administration is confronting concerns about AI’s effects on Americans alongside pressure to keep pace with China. The debate has intensified as some advocates call for slowing AI development over safety risks. President Donald Trump met with AI executives at the White House on Sept. 29, against that backdrop. Thursday’s gathering is expected to include more than a dozen administration officials, according to an official familiar with the plans and an invitation list reviewed ahead of the meeting.
