Trump rejects AI slowdown calls, launches "AI Force" instead
The president offered few details on what his proposed new AI Force would do.
Donald Trump has said that the US would appoint a new AI tsar and create an “AI Force” while offering a full-throated defense of the emerging industry in the face of a growing popular backlash.
The US president’s announcement comes as leading industry figures have sounded the alarm that humans could lose control over the rapidly advancing technology without a slowdown in development.
However, rather than announcing regulation as some have demanded, Trump has dismissed safety concerns as a “hoax.”
