Trump announces 'AI Force', rejects calls to slow AI development
–
Neutral summary
President Donald Trump announced the creation of a new 'AI Force' and the appointment of an 'AI czar' to oversee it, posting the news on Truth Social. He dismissed AI doomsday warnings as a 'hoax' and said his administration 'will not in any way hinder' the technology's development. Trump also proposed renaming artificial intelligence, suggesting 'Superior' and 'Extreme' as alternatives. The announcement comes amid growing calls from industry leaders, including Anthropic's executives, to slow AI development and strengthen safety measures. CNBC reports that AI is set to be a key topic in Trump's upcoming meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping. TechRadar notes that the 'AI Force' name coincides with Salesforce's 'AIforce' platform unveiled at Dreamforce 2026. Trump later said the Justice Department would 'rein in' AI 'if we have to', stressing the US will 'be careful' in handling the technology. The Verge and Ars Technica note that few details have been provided about what the proposed AI Force would actually do.
