  "account": "President Donald Trump announced plans to establish an \"AI Force\" for the United States on Saturday, suggesting it could have a law enforcement role. The administration also pledged to appoint an AI czar, rejecting calls to slow down AI development. Trump dismissed suggestions to throttle back AI's rapid growth as \"politically driven hoaxes\" and emphasized the administration's commitment to support and nurture the industry. He went on to predict that AI could potentially account for as much as 25% of the U.S. GDP and be more impactful than the internet, vowing to ensure the U.S. remains ahead of China and the rest of the world. Trump's announcement follows a week after the industry's top leaders agreed to moderate their pace of development amid growing concerns over its consequences.",
