Washington, D.C. — In a recent social media post, U.S. President Donald Trump announced his intention to appoint a new artificial intelligence (AI) adviser, often referred to as an AI czar, and establish an AI force. However, the president did not provide any specifics regarding these initiatives or how they would be put into action.
Lawmakers in Washington are increasingly concerned about the potential risks that AI technology may pose to humans and property. Former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon recently warned that individuals involved in AI development genuinely believe that it could result in human extinction by the end of the decade. Despite these warnings, Trump has consistently dismissed concerns about AI and suggested that no additional regulation is necessary.
In his post on Truth Social, Trump emphasized that he would neither hinder nor stifle the growth of the AI industry. Instead, he vowed to support and oversee its development. However, he also mentioned that his administration would be vigilant in identifying any potential dangers, which he believes can be effectively addressed through the existing criminal and civil justice system.
If Trump follows through on this promise, it would be his second attempt at creating an AI czar, following a previous effort by venture capitalist David Siegel.
