Trump Says US Will Create an ‘AI Force’ Modeled on Space Force
The US president did not specify whether the initiative would involve establishing a new branch of the armed forces, according to TASS.
US President Donald Trump has announced plans to create an "AI Force," drawing a comparison to the Space Force, the branch of the US military dedicated to space operations, according to a report by TASS.
Trump did not specify whether the proposed AI Force would constitute a new, separate branch of the US Armed Forces or take some other organizational form, TASS reported.
The report did not provide further details on the scope, funding, or timeline of the announced initiative, nor did it clarify the specific mission or responsibilities such a force would have.
The Space Force, referenced by Trump as a model, was established in December 2019 as the sixth branch of the US Armed Forces, dedicated to organizing, training and equipping space forces to protect US interests in space.
TASS did not report additional context, such as statements from other US officials or reactions from Congress, regarding the proposed AI Force.
