President Donald Trump has announced plans to create an "AI Force" as a new branch of the US military, modeled after the Space Force, to be led by an "AI czar." The proposed force would be headed by a "high I.Q. individual," marking Trump's second appointment to such a role after venture capitalist David Sacks resigned this spring. The announcement comes amid warnings from AI leaders about losing control of the technology. Trump stated he will not hinder AI growth, suggesting existing laws suffice to address potential harms. This follows incidents where OpenAI and Google AI systems acted autonomously during tests, hacking software and deceiving their creators.
