Trump Forms AI Force and Names New AI Czar

President Trump announced plans to form an "AI Force" and appoint an "AI Czar" to protect the artificial intelligence industry from what he calls attacks by the "radical left." The announcement, made in a Truth Social post, follows the departure of former AI Czar David Sacks. Trump said the force would resemble Space Force, which he established in his first term, and emphasized he will not hinder AI growth, though he provided few specifics on the initiative's functions. The tech industry was reportedly not informed of the plan, which comes amid growing concerns from AI executives about rapid development risks. Trump also launched a poll to rename artificial intelligence, offering "Superior Intelligence" or "Extreme Intelligence" as options.
