Trump announces AI tsar and new 'AI Force,' dismisses safety concerns as 'hoax'
President Trump said he will soon name an AI tsar and establish an 'AI Force,' framing artificial intelligence as a transformative economic force that could account for up to a quarter of US GDP. He dismissed growing warnings from industry figures about losing control over the technology, along with backlash over data centers, calling them politically motivated 'hoaxes' rather than legitimate concerns requiring regulation.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
This signals the administration will favor rapid, unregulated AI expansion over calls for caution from some of the same technologists who built the industry, setting up a clash between growth-first policy and safety advocates. Framing AI oversight and community pushback as partisan hoaxes could shape how future regulatory debates unfold, especially as data center expansion faces local resistance over resource use.
- Trump plans to appoint an 'AI tsar' and create an 'AI Force' unit
- He rejected calls for AI safety regulation, calling such concerns a political hoax
