Trump bets on AI leadership with an ‘AI Force’ and czar
President Trump announced plans to appoint an AI czar and create an AI Task Force to oversee the rapidly advancing technology, even forming an “AI Force” modeled after Space Force. He said the administration won’t hinder innovation but will use existing criminal and civil justice tools to root out bad actors, and he criticized AI-safety warnings as a hoax. Details on a specific appointee were not released, as lawmakers push for potential AI rules amid ongoing warnings from experts like Geoffrey Hinton about the urgency of regulation and leadership in AI development.
