  "account": "US President Donald Trump announced on Saturday that he plans to establish an \"AI Force\" and appoint an artificial intelligence tsar to oversee the rapidly advancing technology. In his social media post, Trump emphasized that his administration will not hinder the growth of the AI industry and dismissed calls to slow down development until more safeguards are in place. He stated that AI will likely contribute up to 25% to the US economy and asserted that the US should remain ahead of China in AI advancements. Trump also mentioned that his administration would utilize existing criminal and civil justice systems to address any malicious use of AI. However, he dismissed the concerns surrounding AI's potential dangers as a \"hoax.\" The warnings about AI's potential risks have prompted calls for coordinated action, with major AI companies including Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google reporting security breaches or instances of malicious usage. Despite the warnings, Trump remains committed to AI's development and growth, positioning the US as a leader in this emerging field.",
  "summary": "The president said his administration \"will not in any way hinder or stifle the growth\" amid amid warnings about the emergent technology.",
