  "account": "In the midst of growing concerns over the rapid advancement of AI technology, US President Donald Trump announced the formation of an AI Force and the appointment of a special envoy to address artificial intelligence issues. Trump assured that the industry's growth would not be slowed, but he would utilize existing Criminal and Civil Justice System to manage potential threats.\n\nCalifornia's Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom had proposed establishing a commission to regulate Silicon Valley-based tech companies, including requiring them to build emergency shut-off switches in their programs. Trump's announcement could be an attempt to counter this initiative.\n\nThe US-China AI race has drawn comparisons to the space race of the 1960s, with major US companies currently leading the industry. Trump intends to maintain their dominance, but also recognizes the geopolitical implications of Chinese AI supremacy. Chinese President Xi Jinping is expected to visit the White House, and AI is likely to be a major topic of discussion between the two leaders.",
