Trump announces creation of 'AI Force' to monitor AI technologies

US President Donald Trump announced the creation of an 'AI Force' on his online platform Truth Social on Saturday, September 19, 2026. This new unit will oversee the development and regulation of artificial intelligence (AI). Trump also plans to appoint a 'Czar of AI' to lead this initiative.

Trump stated that the new AI Force will play a significant role in monitoring and promoting this industry, and that existing legal frameworks are sufficient to address potential violations. According to him, the government will not hinder the technology but will rather appreciate and support it.

The announcement comes at a time when concerns about the risks of AI technologies are increasing among lawmakers in Washington. Critics from the tech industry and the public have been increasingly calling for mechanisms to regulate the rapidly growing AI industry. However, Trump has labeled fears about the potential dangers of AI, including concerns that AI could possess a dangerous level of intelligence, as a 'hoax'.

The discussion on how to handle AI technologies runs through political and societal debates in the US. While some parties propose a slowing down of development speed through regulation, Trump remains determined to emphasize that such delays are unacceptable.

Reports suggest that the idea of a special unit for artificial intelligence will be similar to the already existing 'Space Force', which was established during his first term. Trump intends for the 'AI Force' to lead the US in the global competition for technological innovations.

Trump's announcement about the 'AI Force' and the appointment of a Czar of AI is expected to gain further details and possibly more official responses in the coming weeks, particularly regarding upcoming meetings with international heads of state, where the role of AI in global strategy may also be discussed.
