Trump announces AI Force while lawsuit alleges illegal industry slowdown agreement

President Trump announced on Saturday that he will create an "AI Force," a new military branch focused on artificial intelligence. He also said he will name an AI czar to lead the effort. Trump modelled the idea on the Space Force, which he created during his first term. He called concerns about AI dangers "hoaxes" and said regulation would push companies into bankruptcy. He wants American AI labs to beat Chinese competitors. Separately, a lawsuit filed on Friday accuses Anthropic, OpenAI, SpaceX AI, and Google of breaking antitrust laws. The lawsuit claims the companies secretly agreed to slow down AI development. It also says this agreement reduced the value of AI subscriptions that consumers had already paid for.
