Trump says he will create 'AI Force,' name AI czar

US ​President Donald Trump wrote in a social media post on Saturday that he is creating an 'AI Force' to oversee regulation of AI and will appoint an AI 'czar' in the near future.
'We will ⁠not in any way hinder or stifle ⁠the Growth of this incredible Industry,' Trump wrote on Truth Social. 'Rather, we will cherish it, help it, and watch over it, ‌as it grows! However, we ​will also be ⁠looking for BAD, and we can ​do that, very easily, with ‌our already existing Criminal and Civil Justice System.'
The White House did not ​immediately respond to a request for comment.
Trump earlier this week posted that a 'sick conspiracy' has been created against AI and data centers. He brushed aside calls for new federal ‌AI rules, saying the United States needs only a ​strong president to regulate the technology.
US officials have ​said ‌they ⁠will raise the topic of AI in talks with China as the US president prepares to meet ​with Chinese President Xi Jinping next week.
Washington ⁠and Beijing ​view advances in AI as critical to their economic and military competitiveness, but they remain at odds over access to advanced chips, allegations of technology copying ​and regulation of the AI industry.
