On September 20, U.S. President Trump announced that the United States would not impede the progress of the artificial intelligence (AI) sector; rather, it would actively support and oversee its expansion. Trump views AI as the harbinger of the 'next industrial revolution,' with the potential to contribute up to 25% of the U.S. GDP. He highlighted that the United States currently holds a leading position in AI and is keen on preserving this edge. In pursuit of this goal, Trump unveiled plans to create an 'Artificial Intelligence Task Force' and indicated that an 'AI czar' would be appointed in the future to manage AI-related affairs. Trump stressed that the government would refrain from stifling AI innovation through restrictive policies, opting instead to leverage the existing judicial framework to tackle illegal activities within the AI industry. Furthermore, he affirmed that, despite the skepticism and challenges faced by the AI sector, the government would remain steadfast in its support and enhance its oversight capabilities.
