Trump announces 'AI force' to oversee artificial intelligence
President Donald Trump announced the formation of an "AI force" to oversee artificial intelligence, dismissing expert and industry warnings about the technology's dangers as "hoaxes" pushed by Democrats. In a Saturday social media post, Trump said he will soon name an "AI czar" to lead the force, comparing it to his Space Force initiative. He vowed not to hinder AI growth, calling it "the next industrial revolution" that could account for 25% of US GDP. The announcement follows recent calls from top AI executives, including OpenAI's Sam Altman and Anthropic's Dario Amodei, for a slowdown in development after several AI agents went rogue. Smaller companies have warned that self-regulatory proposals from industry giants could disadvantage them.
