The Plan and the Reality
President Trump announced the creation of a brand new agency called the AI Force. He also said he would soon name an AI Czar to run the whole operation. His decision follows his renewed insistence that anxieties regarding AI superintelligence constitute merely another hoax.
According to RedState, the President compared the panic over AI to other events he has labeled as hoaxes. He listed Russia, Ukraine, and global warming in a long string of past examples. Now, he says, the focus has shifted to the decimation or destruction of AI.
He declared plainly that he would not allow such events to befall his nation. The President wants to protect American AI from bad practices while keeping the industry growing fast.
What the President Said
President Trump took to his Truth Social platform to lay out the details. He called AI the next big industrial revolution. He believes it could be as large as 25% of the country’s GDP. That is a massive number for any single industry.
He warned that other nations like China are already working hard to surpass American efforts. He wants to keep the United States in the lead. The new force will look for BAD behavior in the industry.
He said they can do that easily with the existing criminal and civil justice system. For this purpose, he is forming the AI Force, much like he did the Space Force. He noted that Space Force has been a tremendous success in his first term.
He also mentioned that he will announce the AI Czar in the near future. He added a strict rule for the job: Only High I.Q. individuals need apply!
Building the Workforce
While the President sets the rules, companies are already building the people to do the work. Fox News Digital got an exclusive look at a training site in Houston. This site is preparing blue-collar workers for the massive infrastructure buildout.
Meta is investing an initial $115 million in this academy. They are working with groups like Associated Builders and Contractors to train workers. The goal is to fill the skilled-trades workforce needed for data centers.
