Trump Announces Plans for an AI Adviser Without Operational Details

President Donald Trump said in a Truth Social post on 19 September 2026 that he plans to appoint an artificial-intelligence adviser, described as an “AI czar,” and create an “AI force.” The announcement did not name an appointee or specify legal authority, funding, or an implementation timetable.

Why the technology sector is watching

A new government role or coordination mechanism could shape discussions about model safety, consumer protection, and innovation. Its practical impact cannot be assessed until the responsible office, mandate, resources, and implementation process are known.

Trump said his administration would not hinder AI-industry growth and would use existing criminal and civil justice tools to address harmful conduct. Details of the programme and an immediate White House response were not available when checked.
