Trump’s announcement on Saturday unveiled a new federal initiative dubbed the AI Force, a body he said would guard the technology from 'Radical Left Dumocrats.' He compared the new force to the Space Force he launched in 2019, calling it a 'tremendous success.'
A key element will be the appointment of an AI Czar. Trump said the candidate must possess a 'high IQ.' The role would oversee the force’s strategy and operations.
The president argued that AI could become the next industrial revolution, projecting that it could account for up to 25% of U.S. GDP.
The announcement was posted on Trump’s Truth Social account, where he frequently denounces left‑wing critics as 'Dumocrats' and claims they threaten national security.
The federal government will soon draft the AI Czar’s mandate, with the appointment slated for early next month, setting the stage for a new federal agency aimed at protecting artificial intelligence.
