Trump’s Floats Creating an ‘AI Force’
Trump said harmful AI uses can be handled under existing laws as lawmakers and tech leaders press for stronger safeguards.
- Over the weekend, President Donald Trump announced plans to create an "AI Force" and appoint an AI czar in a Truth Social post, modeling the initiative after the Space Force.

- In contrast, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman argued for slower progress, stating AI capabilities must not "get ahead of alignment and monitoring."
