Trump wants to rename AI and launches plans for AI Force

Former President Donald Trump has proposed giving artificial intelligence (AI) a new name, in response to what he sees as negative public opinion regarding this technology. During a recent speech, he claimed that the prevailing opposition to AI is a "Democratic hoax," providing no evidence for this assertion.

Trump emphasized that his proposal is more than just a name change; he also announced an initiative to create a so-called "AI Force." This team, he claims, should ensure the safe and effective use of AI technologies. These suggestions come amid growing concerns about the societal impact and ethics of AI development, which have also gained attention within the IT industry.

Meanwhile, the discussion about the regulation of AI development and application continues. It is clear that AI will be an integral part of the future, but how policymakers and business leaders relate to this technology remains a dilemma. The idea of an "AI Force" could possibly highlight the need for a collaborative model that engages experts from various domains in shaping the future of AI.
