     President Trump announced he was creating a new “AI Force” and designating a new AI “czar” Saturday to keep the industry from engaging in bad practices – after doubling down that apocalyptic fears of AI superintelligence are just another “hoax.”  Makes since.

     Trump insisted he would not “stand by” and let his political opponents take down an industry he views as paramount to US competitiveness, and likened those urging caution to his political enemies.  “Over the years, there have been many Hoaxes, all generated by the Radical Left Dumocrats, for purposes of destroying our Country. RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA, UKRAINE, UKRAINE, UKRAINE, Global Warming, Impeachment Hoax #1, Impeachment Hoax #2, Men in Women’s Sports, Transgender for Everyone, and now, the decimation, or destruction, of AI, commonly known as Artificial Intelligence — And I, as President of the United States, will not stand by and let this happen,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social account Saturday afternoon.

     The president mentioned what he termed the “crazed Data Center attack” – swelling political opposition to infrastructure that fuels AI’s exponential growth – and compared it to an effort “going straight at AI” that must be countered.  “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! However, we will also be looking for BAD” through the existing criminal justice system, he wrote.

     “For this purpose, I am forming the AI Force, much like I did Space Force, which has been a tremendous SUCCESS, in my First Term.” He said he was screening “High I.Q. individuals” for the AI post.  Trump’s call for a Space Force initially drew ridicule during his first term, but has grown to stand alongside other vaunted US military branches with a pending $71 billion administration budget request.  He has also been unwilling to bend to mounting pressure in Congress for legislative action, after AI researcher Jacob Coxon resigned from AI giant Anthropic and warned that the supercharged intelligence “could kill us all by the end of the decade.”
