Trump says US will form 'AI Force' and appoint an artificial intelligence tsar

Claims by current and former researchers that AI could endanger humanity have sparked concern in recent weeks, with one estimate suggesting a greater than 10 percent chance that the technology could kill all humans. Major AI firms are racing to develop more capable systems, pursuing what they describe as artificial general intelligence—technology that would surpass human cognition. Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google—the creators of Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini—have each reported security breaches or episodes where their chatbots were employed for malicious activity. Dario Amodei, head of Anthropic, recently urged a slowdown in AI advancement, projecting industry‑wide deceleration and regulation, and advocated for independent oversight of model development. Sam Altman of OpenAI and Elon Musk of xAI both said they support Amodei’s position. Jack Clark, co‑founder of Anthropic, told the BBC that a "kill switch" that tin beryllium checked by a 3rd enactment whitethorn request to beryllium mandatory for the industry. The warnings have prompted U.S. lawmakers to consider legislation governing AI, although Altman said this week that Washington has struggled to keep pace with the rapid technology and determine how to regulate it, adding that the public should place more trust in AI companies to ensure safety. Altman told a gathering in San Francisco, “The satellite should spot that we are going to bash the close happening due to the fact that it's the close happening and we consciousness the magnitude of this.” In the United Kingdom, members of Parliament from all parties and peers have warned that AI poses risks to human rights and argued that existing legislation is inadequate to address the technology’s accelerated growth. The Joint Committee on Human Rights (JCHR) has released a study calling for a new legal measure on AI to “address the scale and seriousness” of such threats.
