Anchorage, AK, September 19, 2026 — President Donald Trump has announced his intention to establish a new initiative focused on artificial intelligence, which he has termed an “AI Force.” This concept, drawing a parallel to the established Space Force, is intended to bolster the United States’ capabilities in the burgeoning field of AI. Alongside this announcement, the President indicated plans to appoint a specific official, referred to as an “AI czar,” to oversee this effort.

The President’s proposal comes amid a period of rapid advancement and increasing integration of artificial intelligence technologies across various sectors. However, the announcement was also marked by a clear stance against implementing new regulatory frameworks or constraints on AI development.

President Trump explicitly rejected calls from both lawmakers and leaders within the technology industry who have urged for new regulations or limitations on the burgeoning AI sector. According to the President’s stated position, the priority is to foster growth and maintain a competitive edge in artificial intelligence. Specific details regarding the structure, budget, or operational scope of the proposed “AI Force” were not provided. Similarly, the specific qualifications or mandate for the “AI czar” were not detailed.

The summary indicates that lawmakers and industry leaders had advocated for new regulations or constraints, but the specific nature of these concerns or the identities of the individuals and groups making these calls were not elaborated upon. The President’s rejection of these calls emphasizes a focus on unrestricted development and competition as the primary drivers for U.S. advancement in artificial intelligence. The timeline for the creation of the “AI Force” or the appointment of the AI czar was also not provided in the available information.
