Trump doubles down on AI push amid industry-wide slowdown calls; proposes ‘AI Force’ headed by ‘AI Czar’
Trump doubles down on AI push, calls slowdown concerns a hoax, announces AI Force led by AI Czar to boost growth.
President Donald Trump reiterated his support for Artificial Intelligence (AI) development despite industry leaders calling for a slowdown in model creation. This stance was his second time labeling AI development concerns as a hoax. Last week, following warnings from Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google DeepMind about the dangers of rapid AI advancement, Trump declared that the United States possesses a "STRONG AND SMART" President, which serves as the necessary guardrail for AI.
He introduced the concept of an AI Force, akin to the US Space Force, which will be headed by an AI Czar. Trump did not provide a timeline for the establishment of the AI Force or specify under which federal department it would operate, except for mentioning its potential alignment with the Criminal and Civil Justice System.
