Trump Announces “AI Force” and New “AI Czar”: No Regulation, a Rebrand Poll, and a 25% GDP Prediction
President Trump announced on Truth Social on September 19 that he is forming an “AI Force” and will appoint a new “AI Czar” to oversee AI policy, vowing his administration “will not in any way hinder or stifle” the industry and predicting AI could reach 25% of U.S. GDP. He branded AI safety concerns a “Radical Left” hoax and launched a poll to rebrand “Artificial Intelligence” as Superior, Extreme, or Supreme Intelligence. With an Anthropic researcher’s resignation warning and Amodei’s “pace the frontier” plan still echoing, the White House has planted its flag firmly with the accelerationists.
