KEY POINTS
- Trump announces creation of an "AI Force" modeled on the Space Force
- President plans to appoint an "AI czar" to oversee the technology
- Trump dismisses AI safety concerns as a political "hoax"
- Administration will rely on existing justice systems to police AI misuse
- Public poll launched to rename AI with three proposed alternatives
President Donald Trump announced on Saturday that his administration will create an "AI Force" and appoint an "AI czar" to monitor artificial intelligence development. The declaration came via Truth Social as the White House and Congress face growing pressure to impose safeguards on the technology.
Trump reiterated his view that fears surrounding AI constitute a "hoax" generated by political opponents, though he acknowledged some risks. He stated the administration would watch for "the BAD" using existing criminal and civil justice systems rather than creating new regulatory structures.
“We're not going to hinder or slow down the growth of this incredible industry in any way.”
The president emphasized that the United States leads China and the rest of the world in AI and vowed not to hinder the industry's growth. He compared AI's potential impact to the Industrial Revolution and the advent of the internet.
El Diario de Yucatán reports that Trump also launched a public poll to rename AI, offering three options: Superior Intelligence, Extreme Intelligence, and Supreme Intelligence. The White House has not yet detailed the AI Force's structure, whether it will be a military branch like the Space Force, or who might fill the czar role.
