## 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.
## Key takeaway

Trump is prioritizing rapid AI development over safety precautions, positioning AI as potentially worth 25% of GDP.
