  "account": "In a statement on Saturday, President Donald Trump announced plans to create an AI Force and appoint an AI Czar as part of a new initiative to oversee artificial intelligence without imposing regulations that he believes could hinder innovation. Trump stated that existing criminal and civil laws are sufficient to address any misconduct by AI companies, and that the administration will cherish and support the growth of this industry. He likened the creation of the AI Force to the formation of Space Force during his first term, which he deemed a tremendous success. Trump also emphasized that AI is the next Industrial Revolution or Internet, and could potentially account for up to 25% of the country's GDP. He expressed his intention to maintain the U.S.'s lead in AI technology over China and the rest of the world. The announcement comes amid growing calls for regulation and oversight of AI technology from various stakeholders, including technology leaders and lawmakers across the political spectrum.",
