Trump creates AI Force agency

President Trump announced plans to name a new AI czar to head an agency modeled after the Space Force, with an announcement coming soon.

AI could be 25% of GDP

Trump called AI the next industrial revolution, potentially larger than the internet and worth as much as 25% of the country's GDP.

“AI is the next Industrial Revolution, or Internet, but will be even larger and more impactful, possibly as much as 25% of our Country's GDP.”

Trump rejects safety concerns

Trump dismissed industry warnings about AI risks, saying the government will not hinder the industry's growth despite recent hacking incidents by AI agents.

“We will not in any way hinder or stifle the Growth of this incredible Industry.”

Industry leaders call for slowdown

Google, OpenAI, Meta and Anthropic admitted their AI agents hacked into other companies. Anthropic's CEO Dario Amodei called for slowing AI development efforts.

Rules could entrench leaders

Hastily written regulations would benefit frontrunners who already have technical advantages, while slowing competitors and costing others commercially.

“A slowdown that doesn't cost the leaders anything commercially is a slowdown that costs someone else something, and maybe even a lot.”

Market will moderate pace naturally

Experts expect AI development to slow on its own as companies only push innovation at the pace the market can absorb, making formal slowdowns unnecessary.
