Trump to create ‘AI Force’ to monitor technology as fears over out-of-control agents grow

President Donald Trump announced plans to establish an "AI Force" and an artificial intelligence czar as fears over the rapid development of AI technology grow.

However, many Republicans have urged caution, citing the technology's potential threats to public safety. Trump's plan includes appointing an individual with a high IQ to lead the AI Force, similar to his "Space Force" initiative.
