Trump 'AI Force' Creation Claim and 25% GDP Comment Reported

Reports surfaced that President Trump announced the establishment of an 'AI Force' and claimed artificial intelligence (AI) could account for 25% of U.S. gross domestic product (GDP). The claim was made by Watcher.Guru X account on a post dated 19th, though no official statement from President Trump or the White House confirmed this. The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) had previously announced the launch of a government-wide technology talent program called 'Tech Force,' aimed at modernizing government technology with engineers and data scientists. OPM clarified that it was launching 'Tech Force,' not an 'AI Force.' A White House economic report cited varying estimates from 1% to over 45% for AI's potential impact on U.S. GDP, but did not mention Trump's 25% figure or the proposed 'AI Force.' Further confirmation of these claims remains pending.
