Trump officially announced preparations for the AI Force, aligning with the logic behind the Space Force's establishment back then. Many people only see the headlines but overlook the political and industrial games behind this move; the underhanded tactics of this game are hidden beneath the headlines. First, the AI Czar position has been vacant for half a year. The previous AI and crypto czar Sacks left office in March this year, and during the six months of the AI industry's rapid growth, this key position remained vacant. This is not a White House personnel forgetfulness, but a deliberate move, waiting for the right moment to make a move again and paving the way for this brand-new agency. Second, replicating the Space Force's institutional formula. Back then, the Space Force was upgraded from a concept to a permanently independent branch, locking in a long-term budget and policy framework. Today, AI Force adopts exactly the same approach: institutionalizing pro-AI, light-regulation policies permanently, so even if the next government changes, it will be difficult to directly overturn this system. This budget also fulfills the political donation promises of tech capital during the campaign phase, balancing the demands of capital consortiums and their own strategic demands. Third, the most core move: reconstructing the characterization of AI safety issues. Trump directly included "AI risk concerns" on his "scam list." He interpreted them within the same framework as global warming, impeachment, and geopolitical issues. In his narrative, AI risk rhetoric is not a technological warning but a political weapon used by the left to suppress industry. Once this narrative holds, the public opinion foundation for strict AI regulation will immediately fail. Interestingly, the real warning about AI doomsday risks is precisely the core personnel within leading AI companies
