Donald Trump has said that the US would appoint a new AI tsar and create an “AI Force” while offering a full-throated defense of the emerging industry in the face of a popular opposition.

The US president’s announcement comes as leading industry figures have sounded the alarm that humans could lose control over the rapidly advancing technology without a slowdown in development.

Trump said that the opposition to AI and the proliferation of data centers to power it was one of a series of “hoaxes” created by the Left, along with “Russiagate,” climate change, and “Transgender for Everyone.”

In July, Florida GOP gubernatorial nominee Byron Donalds released an ad promising to “protect Florida families and communities from data centers.”

In August, Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced a temporary data center moratorium, while Mike Rogers, a former House Republican running for Senate in Michigan, announced he would support a one-year ban.
