Trump vows to create 'AI Force' and appoint new AI czar

usatoday.com

President Donald Trump announced Saturday plans to create an "AI Force" and appoint a new artificial intelligence czar, rejecting calls from some tech leaders to slow AI development. Trump detailed the proposals in a Truth Social post, comparing the AI Force to Space Force without specifying its structure or timeline. He also promised an "AI Czar" successor to David Sacks, who stepped down in May 2026. The announcement follows warnings from Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and others about risks like loss of control and cyberattacks. Trump dismissed such fears as a "HOAX," citing competition with China and AI's potential to reach 25% of the U.S. economy.
