Story summary

In a series of social media posts on Truth Social, Donald Trump dismissed concerns about artificial intelligence (AI) as a hoax, comparing them to past warnings about climate change. He accused critics of being alarmist and likened their stance to previous claims that global warming would lead to disaster. Trump announced the formation of an "AI Force" and plans to appoint an "AI Czar," aiming to protect AI's rapid growth in the United States. This move is seen as a response to growing skepticism about the technology, with some industry leaders warning about potential risks. Despite these warnings, Trump insisted that the justice system would serve as sufficient safeguards against any misuse of AI and vowed not to allow regulatory measures that could hinder its development. The announcement comes amid increasing tensions between the U.S. and China in the tech race, particularly concerning AI advancements.
