Donald Trump announced plans over the weekend to create an 'AI Force' and appoint a new artificial intelligence czar. He made the announcement on the social media platform Truth Social, stating his administration would not impede the development of the AI industry. Trump compared the proposed AI Force to the Space Force, a military branch he established during his first term. Trump stated that his administration would focus on identifying and addressing 'bad' actors within the AI sector rather than hindering industry growth. He also suggested that fears surrounding AI development were exaggerated. David Sacks, who previously served as AI and crypto czar, agreed with Trump, stating that pausing AI development would benefit China. ## Disagreement on AI's future Nextgov reported that Trump's announcement came amid weeks of warnings from tech executives and lawmakers about the potential harms of advanced AI models and calls for regulation. Philip Reiner, CEO of the Institute for Security and Technology, noted that while Trump's analogy to Space Force provided a shape of an answer, it lacked substance, as Space Force was established through congressional approval with a defined doctrine and budget, unlike the proposed AI Force. ## What the coverage left out None of the left-rated reports mentioned this story. The centre-rated reports from Nextgov and Real News No Bullshit did not include specific figures on the potential economic impact of AI, such as the prediction that it could eventually make up as much as 25% of US GDP, a detail mentioned in Real News No Bullshit's digest. The right-rated reports did not mention the concerns raised by AI safety advocacy groups or experts about the lack of detail and substance in the AI Force proposal, as reported by Nextgov. ## Who covered it Shares of the 7 covering outlets with a published leaning rating: - Left: 0% (0) - Centre: 29% (2) - Right: 71% (5) 4 of 11 covering outlets carried no usable leaning rating and were excluded from those percentages.
