Yes. On September 19, 2026, President Donald Trump said on Truth Social that he is forming an “AI Force” modeled on the Space Force and will appoint an AI “czar” in the near future. He framed the move as support for U.S. AI growth and competition with China, while continuing to dismiss fears about advanced AI as a “hoax” and saying existing criminal and civil law can address bad actors.
CNN reported that Trump did not specify whether the AI Force would be a military branch or a civilian body, and the White House had not provided further structural details at the time of the announcement.
