Trump suggests rebranding AI with a new name, says he’s also creating an AI Force
Trump calls AI safety concerns a hoax, polls followers on renaming AI, and announces plans for an 'AI Force' and AI czar.
President Donald Trump dismissed the intensifying AI safety debate as a political hoax on Truth Social and launched a poll to rename 'Artificial Intelligence' to alternatives like Superior or Supreme Intelligence. He said he will form an 'AI Force' modeled on Space Force and soon announce an AI 'Czar,' without detailing their duties. The post follows David Sacks stepping down as AI and crypto czar, and comes amid safety disputes involving Anthropic's Dario Amodei, OpenAI's Sam Altman, and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who called the AI backlash a hoax.
