United States President Donald Trump announced intentions to establish an “AI Force” alongside naming an artificial intelligence czar.
As reported by Newsweek and various other outlets, Trump shared on Truth Social on Saturday that this upcoming initiative will oversee the rapidly expanding industry while avoiding restrictive rules that might hinder technological advancement.
The president stated, “For this purpose, I am forming the AI Force, much like I did Space Force, which has been a tremendous SUCCESS, in my First Term.” He added, “To that end, I will be announcing, in the near future, the AI ‘Czar’ — Only High I.Q. individuals need apply!”
The New York Times pointed out that Trump omitted whether the AI Force will function as a civilian entity, a military command, or a separate department, noting further that White House representatives did not reply to an email requesting clarification.
Trump’s post comes amid warnings of AI’s potential dangers
The BBC reported that Trump provided no extra specifics or a schedule for the initiative, noting that his message arrived concurrently with cautions regarding the possible hazards of artificial intelligence.
Cointelegraph reported on September 12 that Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, authored a three-phase strategy to moderate the velocity of artificial intelligence progression, warning that unmanaged growth could “outrun our ability to understand and control these systems.”
On Sunday, Cointelegraph reported that Anthropic selected Accenture as its inaugural embedded evaluator to assist in regulating the pacing of AI progress, advancing the initial phase detailed in Amodei’s strategy.
Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX, and Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, reacted favorably to Amodei’s strategy, whereas Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, did not support it, maintaining that such oversight is unneeded.
