Trump declares war on Skynet with new 'AI Force,' seeks czar with high I.Q. — IQ-T ∞

US President Donald Trump said he plans to form an "AI Force" and appoint an artificial intelligence czar to oversee the fast-growing sector without imposing new regulations that could slow innovation. In a Saturday post on Truth Social, Trump said the initiative would be modeled on Space Force, the military branch established during his first term. "For this purpose, I am forming the AI Force, much like I did Space Force, which has been a tremendous SUCCESS, in my First Term," Trump wrote. "To that end, I will be announcing, in the near future, the AI 'Czar' — Only High I.Q. individuals need apply!"

Trump's post did not specify whether the AI Force would be structured as a military command, a civilian agency or a federal department. The New York Times reported that White House officials did not respond to an email seeking clarification, and the BBC noted that the president offered no further details or timeline for the plan.

The announcement comes amid warnings from industry leaders about the potential dangers of advanced artificial intelligence. Cointelegraph reported on Sept. 12 that Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei had outlined a three-step proposal to slow the pace of AI development, warning that the technology could otherwise "outrun our ability to understand and control these systems." On Sunday, Anthropic said it had selected Accenture as its first embedded evaluator under the first step of that proposal. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk responded positively to Amodei's plan, while Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang pushed back, arguing additional regulation was not necessary.
