The Spin

Anti-Trump narrative

Calling AI the next Industrial Revolution while waving off the risks as a leftist hoax is a contradiction that should worry everyone. Promising an AI Force and a czar means nothing if the entire oversight plan is filing lawsuits after the damage is done. Nobody builds a nuclear plant and staffs it with personal injury attorneys.

Pro-Trump narrative

An AI czar and an AI Force are exactly what a country in a technology race with China needs, and existing criminal and civil law already covers misuse. Smothering the industry with new red tape would hand the future to competitors who feel no such hesitation. There is far too much to gain to let fear and anti-AI hoaxes dictate policy.
