Trump said in a post on social media that the new development would include the installation of a to-be-determined “AI Czar” to better equip the United States in the artificial intelligence race against communist China.

Trump warned that criticism of the development of artificial intelligence was based on hoaxes similar to those of his prior impeachments, Russia/Ukraine, global warming, and the ability for men to play in women’s sports.

The growth of the artificial intelligence industry aims to increase industrial construction and re-shore high salary employment, all while crippling China’s ability to compete with American industry.
