Trump announces new 'AI force' amid mounting pressure
Several voices, including from within the AI industry, have been calling for policing the fast-growing technology. Trump has once again called AI warnings "hoaxes" and vowed to "cherish, help" the industry.
US President Donald Trump has announced plans to create an AI force as concerns over unchecked industry growth have grown. In a social media post, Trump said he will appoint an AI czar to lead the new force soon. The president dismissed warnings about AI's dangers as "hoaxes" by the left and Democrats, but vowed to use the existing criminal and civil justice system to identify potential issues.
Trump likened the formation of the AI force to the creation of Space Force, calling it a "tremendous SUCCESS" in his first term. Despite his close ties to big tech executives, Trump vowed not to hinder or stifle the growth of the AI industry. He described AI as "the next industrial revolution," predicting it will contribute 25% to the US GDP.
Trump claimed the US is leading China and the rest of the world in AI development, and vowed to maintain this position.
