US President Donald Trump said in a social media post on Saturday that he will establish an 'Artificial Intelligence Force' to oversee the regulation of the sector and will appoint a'responsible' for artificial intelligence in the near future.
Trump added on the Truth Social platform 'We will not hinder or impede the growth of this amazing industry in any way... On the contrary, we will be proud of it, support it, and develop it... But we will also look at the negative aspects, and we can do this very easily through the criminal and civil justice system we already have.'
The White House has not yet responded to a request for comment.
Trump wrote in a post a few days ago that there is a'malicious conspiracy' being plotted against artificial intelligence and data centers, and rejected calls for new federal rules for artificial intelligence, arguing that the United States only needs a strong president to regulate this sector.
US officials said they will raise the issue of artificial intelligence in talks with China, as the US President prepares to meet with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping next week.
Both Washington and Beijing consider progress in the field of artificial intelligence to be crucial to their economic and military competitiveness, but they remain at odds over access to advanced chips, allegations of technology theft, and the regulation of the artificial intelligence sector.
