Trump announces AI Force and AI czar to boost U.S. tech

nextgov.com

President Donald Trump announced plans to create an "AI Force" and appoint an AI czar to boost U.S. development of emerging technologies, while rejecting calls for stronger regulations on advanced models. In a Truth Social post Saturday, Trump blamed "Radical Left Dumocrats" for concerns about data centers and AI dangers, saying he will not stifle industry growth. He compared the initiative to Space Force, which he established during his first term. The announcement follows warnings from tech executives about potential AI harms, though details on the AI Force's role remain unclear. Critics note Space Force required congressional approval, while David Sacks supported Trump's stance against development pauses.
