Trump to form 'artificial intelligence force', says sector could account for 25% of US GDP

On September 19, local time, U.S. President Donald Trump announced on social media that he would establish an "artificial intelligence force" and soon appoint an AI affairs chief. Trump said AI represents the next industrial revolution or internet wave, with even greater scale and impact, potentially accounting for 25% of U.S. GDP.

He stated that his administration will not hinder or suppress the development of the AI industry, but will support and promote its growth. He also said the U.S. would use existing criminal and civil judicial systems to punish AI-related misconduct. Earlier, Trump spoke with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang at an industry summit and defended AI technology.
