President Donald Trump announced he would appoint an artificial intelligence czar and create an "AI Force" to monitor the technology, despite his party urging caution. The president brushed aside suggestions to slow down AI development, even as global fears over AI have grown in recent weeks. Trump criticized calls for a slowdown of AI development, calling the dangers surrounding the rapidly growing industry a "hoax" and vowing to maintain the US's lead over China in the sector.
He said the AI Force, similar to his previous "Space Force," would consist of individuals with high I.Q.s and would not hinder or stifle AI industry growth. Trump's proposal comes ahead of his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping during the UN General Assembly, as the two nations compete for AI leadership.
