Trump says he will appoint a new AI adviser, without providing details
On September 19, President Donald Trump announced his intention to appoint a new artificial intelligence adviser, referred to as an "AI czar," and establish an "AI force." However, he did not offer specifics on the implementation of these initiatives. As the AI technology sector faces increasing scrutiny over potential risks to humans and property, lawmakers in Washington have expressed concern.
Former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon recently stated that individuals developing AI believe it could cause human extinction by the end of the decade. Despite his administration's stance that no regulation is needed to curb AI development, Trump posted on Truth Social, his platform, expressing support for the industry and its growth.
If Trump goes through with his plan, it would mark his second AI czar appointment. Previous AI czar, venture capitalist David Sacks, recently reiterated his skepticism towards new AI regulations, suggesting developers should be responsible for product safety and potentially liable for any issues.
