AITrump announces "AI Force" and "AI Czar," dismisses AI safety concerns as "hoax"
Trump announced forming an "AI Force" modeled on Space Force and appointing an "AI Czar." He rejected slowdown calls, emphasized not hindering industry growth, and compared AI safety fears to past "hoaxes," proposing alternative AI branding terms.
TLDR
This contrasts sharply with industry voices calling for caution amid recent security incidents and recursive self-improvement progress. It highlights U.S. policy divisions between regulation and acceleration, particularly amid China competition concerns, data center backlash, and the politicization of AI risks. It follows the previous AI czar David Sacks stepping down.
