  "account": "US President Donald Trump announced on Saturday his plans to establish an AI Force to bolster the growth of the artificial intelligence industry. Trump claimed that warnings about the potential risks of AI were merely a hoax, perpetrated by \"Radical Left Democrats\" to undermine the United States. He further appointed an AI Czar to oversee the force, asserting that only individuals with a high IQ would be considered for the position. Trump emphasized that the AI Force would not hinder the industry's growth, but rather, support and monitor it. He stated that AI would have a substantial impact on the economy, possibly amounting to 25% of the country's GDP, and that the US would continue to lead in this sector, ahead of China and other nations. Earlier in the week, Trump dismissed concerns from industry leaders, who warned about the potential dangers of AI, as mere \"hoaxes.\" He also argued that the term \"artificial intelligence\" was inadequate to describe the technology and proposed alternative labels such as Superior Intelligence (SI), Extreme Intelligence (EI), or Supreme Intelligence (SI). In a call with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, Trump praised the data centers' growth and their contribution to wealth generation, while cautioning against the warnings from AI industry leaders who allegedly sought to \"play into the hands of people who don't want to see it happening.\" Former employees of AI companies Anthropic and OpenAI, including Dario Amodei and Jacob Coxon, have expressed concerns about the rapid development of AI, advocating for a slower pace and increased safety measures.",
  "summary": "In his post, Trump listed the decimation of AI among a variety of concepts he believed to be hoaxes generated by \"Radical Left Dumocrats\" for the purposes of destroying the United States.",
