The president emphasized his commitment to advancing AI, stating that his administration would not hinder or stifle its growth. "We will cherish it, help it, and watch over it, as it grows!" Trump wrote on Truth Social. However, he provided few details about the force's structure, authority, or how it would differ from existing federal AI initiatives.
Trump's announcement comes amid growing concerns from industry leaders about the rapid development of artificial intelligence. According to UPI, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei warned that developers risk losing control of AI systems. Former researcher Jacob Coxon also expressed fears that AI could pose a significant danger to humanity.
Despite these warnings, Trump has dismissed calls to slow down AI development, calling the concerns a "hoax." He framed rapid AI growth as an economic imperative and a competition with China, claiming it could account for up to 25% of U.S. GDP. According to Al Jazeera, some Republicans are opposing data centers due to environmental concerns, but Trump has defended them, citing higher salaries, lower taxes, and safer streets as benefits.
