Trump Proposes Creation of an ‘AI Force’

The president shared on Truth Social his intention to appoint an “AI czar” to spearhead a new “AI force.” This announcement comes as voices from various political backgrounds and the tech industry itself are urging a slowdown in AI development. He emphasized that his administration “will not in any way hinder or stifle the Growth of this incredible Industry. Rather, we will cherish it, help it, and watch over it, as it grows!”

In his lengthy post, he described data centers as “wealthy and prestigious,” asserting—without evidence—that they contribute to higher salaries, lower taxes, and safer neighborhoods where they are established. He also drew a parallel between the AI Force and the Space Force, which he touted as a “tremendous SUCCESS.”

No specific timeline or additional details about the AI Force were provided, nor was there any indication of who might be chosen to lead it. However, he did state that “Only High I.Q. individuals need apply!” for the role of AI Czar.
