Trump rejects AI slowdown calls, launches "AI Force" instead
Ars Technica Alex Rogers and Stephen Morris, Financial Times ● Covered by 5 sources
Trump rejected calls to slow AI model development and instead launched an “AI Force.” The move came after Anthropic’s Dario Amodei argued industry should slow the pace after capabilities improved “drastically faster” this summer and after a prior US House vote overwhelmingly passed a bill tied to data-center energy costs. It shifts US AI governance toward a new “AI tsar” role and changes midterm campaign positions, as some Republicans reverse course on AI and data-center policy amid electricity-cost concerns.
Why it matters
The president offered few details on what his proposed new AI Force would do.
