US To Maintain AI Leadership Amid Industry Calls For Slowdown
President Donald Trump has announced plans to create an ‘AI Force’ and appoint a new artificial intelligence czar, as he rejects calls from some technology leaders to slow the development of increasingly powerful AI systems. Trump compared the proposed AI Force to Space Force, which he established during his first term, but did not provide details about the group’s structure or responsibilities. The announcement comes as concerns over the pace of AI development have intensified among some technology leaders and researchers, with Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei calling for the industry to slow the development of frontier AI models. This development was first reported by Unknown Source.
