Trump announces new 'AI Force' agency, plans to name AI czar soon
President Trump announced via Truth Social that he is establishing an 'AI Force,' comparing it to the creation of the Space Force, and said he will soon name someone to lead it. He gave no specifics on the agency's structure or duties but pledged not to hinder AI industry growth, and also floated renaming 'artificial intelligence' to something like 'extreme' or 'supreme intelligence.'
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The move puts the administration at odds with AI industry leaders like Anthropic's Dario Amodei, who recently urged slowing development over safety concerns, with OpenAI and xAI executives echoing that call. Trump's framing ties AI expansion directly to competition with China, especially ahead of his planned meeting with his Chinese counterpart where AI policy is expected to be discussed.
- Trump plans to create an 'AI Force' agency and appoint a leader for it soon.
- The announcement contrasts with recent industry calls to slow AI development for safety reasons.
- Trump links unrestrained AI growth to maintaining a competitive edge over China.
