President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that he intends to establish a new organization called the "AI Force" to lead AI-related initiatives. He plans to appoint an "AI czar" to head the group, noting that "Only High I.Q. individuals need apply!" for the position. Trump compared the proposed entity to the Space Force, which he described as a "tremendous SUCCESS."
The announcement comes as industry figures, including Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, have called for increased guardrails and a pause in AI development. Trump dismissed these concerns, referring to AI threat theories as a "Hoax." He stated that his administration "will not in any way hinder or stifle the Growth of this incredible Industry. Rather, we will cherish it, help it, and watch over it, as it grows!"
Trump also suggested that the term "Artificial Intelligence" is "unrefined" and proposed alternatives such as "Superior Intelligence (SI)," "Extreme Intelligence (EI)," and "Supreme Intelligence (SI)." Regarding the impact of AI infrastructure, he claimed without evidence that data centers raise salaries, lower taxes, and improve community safety. No specific timeline or details on the authority and budget of the AI Force have been provided.
