Trump announces plans to create an 'AI Force' with new czar

sea.mashable.com

President Donald Trump announced Saturday he is forming an "AI Force" modeled on Space Force, with a new AI "czar" to be named soon, dismissing AI risk concerns as "hoaxes." In a Truth Social post, Trump promised not to hinder AI industry growth, saying the administration would "cherish it, help it, and watch over it," while vowing to pursue "BAD" actors through existing laws. He specified only "High I.Q. individuals" should apply for the czar role. The announcement follows recent Defense Department AI failures, including a February strike in Iran and a false AI-generated report that nearly triggered a military operation against China. The position has been vacant since David Sacks stepped down in March.
