Trump plans AI Force and AI czar

President Donald Trump said he plans to address AI policy by creating an “AI Force,” comparing the proposed effort to Space Force. He also said he intends to appoint an AI czar, signaling a more centralized approach to federal oversight of the technology.

The announcement came in a Truth Social post on Saturday, days after a former AI researcher warned that AI could wipe out the human race. Some leaders of major AI companies have also called for more government regulation as the technology advances rapidly.

Trump rejected those concerns, describing fears over AI as a hoax. He said he would not stifle growth in the industry, positioning his administration’s approach around acceleration rather than tighter restrictions.
