On Saturday, U.S. President Donald Trump announced via social media his intention to appoint an artificial intelligence adviser, commonly referred to as an "AI czar," and establish an "AI force." However, Trump did not provide specifics on the nature or implementation of these initiatives. In Washington, lawmakers are increasingly worried about the potential risks posed by AI technology to both humans and property.
Earlier this month, former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon expressed concerns that individuals involved in AI development genuinely believe that AI could potentially cause global catastrophe by the end of the decade. Despite these apprehensions, Trump has previously dismissed AI concerns, arguing that regulation is not necessary.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump stated that they "will not in any way hinder or stifle the Growth of this incredible Industry" but rather "cherish it, help it, and watch over it, as it grows!" Nevertheless, Trump also emphasized the need to identify and address potential threats, which he claims can be effectively managed through the existing criminal and civil justice system. Should Trump proceed with his pledge, it would be his second AI czar.
