Donald Trump announced plans to create an AI Force to oversee the artificial intelligence industry, stating he will cherish and protect it as it grows. He expressed concerns that AI could pose existential risks, claiming, 'many people think that the words ‘Artificial Intelligence’ are inaccurate' and that AI could 'kill us all by the end of the decade,' a sentiment echoed by Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic. Trump also indicated he would announce an AI 'Czar' soon, emphasizing that only 'High I.Q. individuals need apply.' This follows David Sacks' resignation earlier this year, who previously served as Trump's AI and crypto czar. Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, dismissed the AI backlash as a 'hoax.' Poll options for a potential rebranding include Superior Intelligence, Extreme Intelligence, and Supreme Intelligence, with the poll ongoing. Trump's comments were made during a recent golf tournament, reflecting his ongoing engagement with AI discourse.
