> Amid US concerns that AI is advancing too quickly and calls from industry figures to slow development, Donald Trump announced an “AI Force” and a special envoy. He said he would not curb the industry’s growth but would use existing criminal and civil justice systems to address wrongdoing. The move may also challenge California Governor Gavin Newsom’s proposed Silicon Valley regulations, as the US-China AI competition intensifies.
