Trump announces AI force, hits back at critics

lapresse.ca (French)

Donald Trump sharply criticized artificial intelligence detractors on Saturday, vowing to remove obstacles to the industry's growth and announcing the creation of a dedicated AI force. Writing on Truth Social, Trump said he would not hinder the industry's expansion, accusing Democrats of spreading false information to achieve AI's "decimation or destruction." He also announced plans to appoint an "AI czar" and establish an "AI Force" modeled on the Space Force. The announcement follows warnings from Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, backed by Elon Musk and Sam Altman, and a viral resignation letter from former Anthropic employee Jacob Coxon. The issue has become politically sensitive ahead of November's midterm elections.
