Trump Plans New AI Adviser And AI Force

What Happened

President Trump said he'll appoint a new AI adviser, an "AI tsar," and create an "AI force," without offering details on either. The announcement, posted to Truth Social, comes days before his meeting with Xi Jinping and follows warnings from a former Anthropic researcher about AI risk.

Why It Matters

Trump paired the announcement with a promise not to "hinder or stifle" the industry, leaning on existing courts instead of new rules. David Sacks, the last person in this job, holds the same view — that liability should fall on developers, not regulators. Washington keeps naming AI czars while deciding, again, not to write new rules for them to enforce.

What's Next

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent meets Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng Sunday in New York to discuss AI security and trade.

Takeaway

Trump wants an AI tsar and an AI force — just not any new rules for either.
