The president launched a Truth Social poll to choose a new name for artificial intelligence technology.
President Donald Trump said on Truth Social that he wants to rename artificial intelligence and create an AI Force. He launched a poll with options including Superior Intelligence, Extreme Intelligence, and Supreme Intelligence. Trump also said he will announce an AI czar soon and called for high-IQ applicants.
Trump framed AI safety concerns as Democratic hoaxes and said critics moved from data centers to AI. He has voiced openness to guardrails while arguing that negative forces raise the issue. David Sacks stepped down as Trump’s AI and crypto czar earlier this year and now co-chairs the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology.
For builders, the proposal adds uncertainty around federal AI policy, procurement, and data center permitting. Enterprise teams should watch how an AI Force and AI czar influence safety rules, cloud contracts, and model deployment. The debate also affects vendors such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Microsoft as they navigate public scrutiny.
Trump said he will announce an AI czar soon and form an AI Force, but he did not describe their duties. The AI safety debate has intensified after an Anthropic researcher quit and CEO Dario Amodei released a plan to manage frontier AI development. Operators should watch for federal appointments, agency structure, and any new safety or permitting rules.
What matters
- Trump said he will form an AI Force and name an AI czar soon, but he did not detail their duties.
- Builders should track federal AI messaging because it can shape procurement, permits, and safety rules.
- Watch next whether Trump names an AI czar and how the AI Force differs from the Space Force.
