Trump Vows to Create 'AI Force' and Appoint AI Czar, Dismisses Safety Warnings as 'Hoax'

In a Truth Social post Friday, President Trump said he will appoint an AI czar and stand up a new 'AI Force' modeled on the Space Force to oversee the industry, adding that 'only High I.Q. individuals need apply.' He dismissed AI safety concerns as a 'hoax' and vowed the White House 'will not in any way hinder or stifle' AI growth, framing US leadership as necessary to 'beat China.' No appointee was named.
