Technological Arms Race: Trump Announces Establishment of 'AI Force'

US President Donald Trump announced the establishment of a new federal body called the 'Artificial Intelligence Force' (AI Force) and plans to appoint an 'AI Czar.' The announcement comes amid a confrontation with Silicon Valley leaders, who demanded a slowdown in development and stricter regulation. Trump dismissed the warnings, calling them a 'political fraud,' and made clear that the US will maintain its lead over China.

US President Donald Trump announced over the weekend the establishment of a new federal oversight body called the 'Artificial Intelligence Force' (AI Force), modeled after the 'Space Force' established during his first term. Alongside this, he proposed appointing an 'AI Czar' with unique qualification requirements. The announcement comes at the height of an unprecedented public conflict between the Washington administration and Silicon Valley leaders. Senior figures at tech giants, including Sam Altman of OpenAI and Dario Amodei of Anthropic, demanded controlled slowdown and stricter regulation. Trump dismissed the safety warnings, calling them a 'political fraud,' and proposed more ambitious terms such as 'superintelligence' or 'extreme intelligence.' He promised that the administration would not stifle industry growth but would assist it while maintaining the lead over China. According to White House estimates, the field of artificial intelligence is expected to constitute about a quarter of the US gross domestic product in the future. Trump made clear that he refuses to slow the pace of scientific development.
