Trump stated last month that he would establish an “AI Force” modeled on the “Space Force” established during his first term and appoint a “czar” to coordinate the federal government’s AI efforts.
Creighton is a longtime Wall Street lawyer who represented Goldman Sachs during the 2008 financial crisis and Barclays in its acquisition of Lehman Brothers assets.
The appointment comes as researchers warn of the dangers AI technology can pose. Trump has always opposed stricter AI regulation, believing that excessive speed of regulation may give Chinese companies an advantage. He advocated that illegal acts abusing AI technology can be handled by federal law enforcement agencies.
At a meeting at the White House this week, top executives from several technology companies signed a pledge to manage AI through industry self-regulation, an agreement Trump described as "morally binding." (Compiled by: Xu Ruicheng) 1151003
