Donald Trump Announces Creation of AI Force and Appointment of New Leader

US President Donald Trump has rejected calls to slow down in the field of artificial intelligence, announcing that he will establish a new AI force and appoint a new special envoy to serve in this area.

AI Force and New Envoy Plan

US President Donald Trump announced plans to create an artificial intelligence force similar to the Space Force he established during his first term. The statement did not yet provide details regarding the structure, responsibilities, or launch date of this group.

Additionally, Trump stated that he will soon appoint a new chief AI advisor. Following the departure of David Sacks, who previously held this role, the identity of the new candidate has not yet been announced.

Debates on Sector Slowdown

Some technology leaders and researchers are raising serious concerns regarding the pace of artificial intelligence development. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei had called for the industry to slow down the development of frontier models.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Elon Musk are also among the figures supporting this call. In contrast, the Trump administration firmly rejects such calls for a slowdown.

Economic Potential and Competition with China

Trump argued that growth in the artificial intelligence industry should not be hindered, stating that existing justice systems can deal with malicious activities. He dismissed fears that it could pose a danger to humanity.

Emphasizing that artificial intelligence could account for up to 25% of the US economy in the future, Trump aims to maintain his country's leading position in the competition with China.
