Trump suggests rebranding AI with a new name, says he’s also creating an AI Force
Trump claimed, without evidence, that the AI backlash is a Democratic hoax.
Get smart on it
President Trump has proposed rebranding artificial intelligence with a new name and stated he is creating an AI Force, comparable to the Space Force established during his first term. Trump characterized concerns about AI safety as Democratic hoaxes and said he plans to announce an AI czar position in the near future. This comes amid recent debate about AI safety risks raised by industry researchers and leaders, with critics arguing that such concerns distract from the technology's more immediate harms. Trump's statements represent his administration's position that AI should be supported and grown rather than subject to the restrictions that safety advocates propose.
