Trump Rejects AI Slowdown Calls, Launches "AI Force"
US President Donald Trump announced the US will appoint a new AI tsar and create an "AI Force", offering a strong defense of the industry amid growing public backlash.
President Donald Trump announced that the United States will appoint a new AI tsar and establish an "AI Force," while strongly defending the artificial intelligence industry against a growing popular backlash.
The announcement comes as prominent industry figures have raised concerns about the potential loss of human control over rapidly advancing AI technology without a slowdown in development.
Instead of introducing regulations, as some have called for, President Trump dismissed safety concerns, characterizing them as a "hoax."
The Trump administration has not previously provided clear details on AI development regulations or safety measures. The intended role and functions of the "AI Force" remain unspecified, but it is likely related to US efforts to enhance its position in AI advancement.
