Trump says he will create 'AI Force,' name AI czar

President Donald Trump announced on social media on Saturday that he intends to appoint an artificial intelligence adviser, referred to as an "AI czar," and establish an "AI force." However, no specifics were provided regarding these initiatives or their implementation. In Washington, lawmakers are increasingly concerned about the potential risks posed by AI technology to humans and property.

Former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon warned earlier this month that AI developers are convinced the technology could pose a threat to humanity by the end of the decade. Trump has previously dismissed concerns about AI and advocated against additional regulation. Despite this, the White House has not responded to inquiries regarding Trump's statement.

The post comes before Trump's planned meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Thursday, as both nations vie for dominance in artificial intelligence, considering it crucial for their economic and military prowess. Trump and tech executives argue that excessive regulation could hinder US AI development and weaken American companies' competitiveness against Chinese counterparts.

Additionally, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is set to meet with Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng on Sunday to discuss AI security, trade, and other economic matters.
