President Trump announced he will create an "AI Force" modeled on the Space Force and said he will soon name an "AI czar." He said the government will not "in any way hinder or stifle the growth" of the AI industry and rejected calls for new constraints. The administration described the AI Force as having a role in monitoring "bad behavior" in the technology while accelerating development. The announcement arrives amid a growing chorus of lawmakers and industry leaders who have urged moving more slowly and calling for guardrails. The move is already drawing pushback from officials pressing for regulation and prompting lawmakers to advance competing legislative proposals on AI oversight.
