Trump says he's forming an 'AI Force' and will name an AI czar
Trump said he would not "in any way hinder or stifle the Growth of this incredible Industry" and drew a parallel between his proposed AI Force and the Space Force he established during his first term
US President Donald Trump has announced plans to create an "AI Force" to oversee artificial intelligence and appoint an AI "czar". He made the announcement on Truth Social, comparing the proposed initiative to the Space Force established during his first term.
Trump stated that his administration would not hinder the growth of the AI industry, but instead support and monitor the sector using existing laws to address harmful activity. He described AI as the next "Industrial Revolution, or Internet", with a potential economic impact of up to 25% of US GDP, according to Trump.
The AI initiative will focus on identifying what Trump described as "BAD" uses of artificial intelligence. The structure, membership, and legal authority of the proposed AI Force were not detailed in the announcement.
