POLICY WIRE — Washington, D.C. — Former President Donald Trump has announced the formation of a new “AI Force” to manage the development of artificial intelligence, echoing his previous creation of the Space Force. This move comes shortly after he dismissed concerns about AI as a ‘hoax’ and claimed that existing safeguards were sufficient.

In a social media post, Trump emphasized his commitment to fostering AI growth, stating, “We 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!” He also mentioned plans to appoint an “AI ‘Czar’” with high intellectual capabilities, drawing comparisons to his previous space initiative.

Trump’s comments followed a string of claims where he blamed “Radical Left” Democrats for spreading misinformation about AI, despite growing industry concerns that the technology could pose existential risks within a decade. Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren criticized the approach, urging Congress to implement meaningful regulations rather than forming additional committees. Meanwhile, recent polls indicate widespread public dissatisfaction with Trump’s handling of AI, with over half of respondents disapproving of his efforts.
