Donald Trump announced Saturday plans to appoint an artificial intelligence czar. He also stated he would create an AI Force to help monitor the technology. These announcements came with almost no specific details regarding either plan.
This initiative comes amidst growing global fears concerning artificial intelligence. Recent alarms have been sounded by multiple industry figures regarding AI dangers. Despite these escalating concerns, and caution advised by his own party, President Trump has criticized suggestions to slow the rapidly developing AI industry. He has consistently dismissed calls for development to be decelerated.
