Trump compares AI plan to Space Force, vows to appoint czar
President Donald Trump said Saturday he plans to create an “AI Force,” modeled on Space Force, and name an AI czar to oversee artificial intelligence policy. The announcement comes as some leading AI executives have called for greater government regulation of the fast-moving industry.
Trump posted the plans on Truth Social on Saturday.
The post comes days after a former AI researcher warned that artificial intelligence could wipe out the human race, according to the report.
Heads of the most influential AI companies have called for more government regulation as AI continues to develop rapidly.
Trump dismissed those concerns, saying fears over AI are a hoax and that he will not stifle growth in the industry.
