美軍The overall intelligent transformation is accelerating.
President Trump posted a message on social media on September 19, Eastern Time, announcing that the United States will form an “artificial intelligence force.” He will soon appoint an artificial intelligence affairs “czar” to fully protect the United States’ global leadership in the field of artificial intelligence.
At present, details such as the specific organizational structure, force size and location of this unit have not been announced, and the relevant plans are still being refined at the Ministry of War level.It has neither been confirmed by congressional legislation nor supported by appropriations and implementation bills, so it is regarded as a special coordinating agency for the artificial intelligence industry at the White House level.
According to his vision, artificial intelligence represents the next industrial revolution or Internet wave, and its scale and influence will be even greater, and may even account for 25% of the U.S. gross domestic product. His government will not hinder or suppress the development of the artificial intelligence industry in any way like the Democrats, but will support and promote the growth of this industry.
Trump also emphasized that the United States will use its existing criminal and civil justice systems to severely punish illegal activities related to artificial intelligence.
Artificial intelligence is in a special stage of “the coexistence of real technological revolution and artificially high local valuations”, and the market still has clear differences on the scale and direction of the bubble. The update speed of technology far exceeds the update pace of regulatory frameworks in various countries around the world, and it is easy for a “governance vacuum” to appear.
Musk, Gates, etc.Global heavyweights in technology, business, politics and other fields have recently issued clear warnings about the risks of out-of-control artificial intelligence and the impact on society.The heads of leading cutting-edge laboratories such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Google DeepMind, etc. have collectively spoken out, calling for the world to simultaneously slow down the development of cutting-edge artificial intelligence, establish a unified mandatory safety supervision framework, and prevent systemic security risks caused by out-of-control artificial intelligence.
The need to strengthen the supervision of artificial intelligence has also become a major topic of heated debate among leaders of various countries at this UN General Assembly. United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres called for coordinated global action to set up guardrails for artificial intelligence. He said that more and more developers are warning that the speed of development exceeds human perception of risks, and they are even calling for a moratorium on development.
Trump said the existing U.S. safeguards are sufficient. He responded strongly to recent industry safety warnings on social media, characterizing the industry’s concerns about runaway artificial intelligence as a “conspiracy” similar to the “global warming hoax” and warning that strict regulation will push companies to the brink of bankruptcy.
on the other hand,The U.S. military has established a number of artificial intelligence task forces with actual combat capabilities in various theaters and military services, forming a mature artificial intelligence combat application system.
In January this year, the U.S. Department of War officially released the “Artificial Intelligence Acceleration Strategy”, which clearly transformed the U.S. military into an “artificial intelligence-first combat force” and launched seven core leading projects covering the three major fields of combat, intelligence, and management.In April, the US military officially released a new人工智能strategic roadmap, clearly transforming itself into a “人工智能“Priority Force”, transforming data and artificial intelligence into decisive air combat advantages, and comprehensively reconstructing the command, control and combat decision-making process.
The various services of the US military are launching a series of latest service adjustments and weapons deployment plans focusing on general directions such as artificial intelligence empowerment, unmanned operations, and space militarization. Some core projects have entered the public implementation stage. Giants in various industries are involved to some extent.
In the U.S. military’s “Epic Fury” large-scale military operation against Iran, artificial intelligence achieved in-depth actual combat participation in the entire combat chain for the first time. At the same time, it also exposed the huge ethical and safety risks caused by unconstrained use. At that time, the US military launched a Tomahawk missile that hit a local elementary school, killing at least 168 civilians. Central Command admitted that in making strike decisions, it relies entirely on the target identification system developed by Palantir, which has built-in Anthropic’s Claude large model.
As the sixth independent branch of the US military, the Space Force takes the lead in promoting the “Golden Dome” space-based anti-missile program. In 2026, it has awarded a US$3.2 billion contract to develop a space-based interception system and build a space defense network that can intercept enemy ballistic missiles during the boost phase. The plan is deeply embedded in full-chain artificial intelligence technology, which can quickly distinguish real missile launch signals from false decoys and electromagnetic interference, solving the core pain points of slow data processing and high false alarm rate of traditional anti-missile systems.
The Space Force announced on July 29 that Musk’s Space Exploration Technology Company (SpaceX) has recently received a contract worth US$1.6 billion to carry out 18 “Falcon 9” rocket launch missions before the end of 2027, carrying military satellites used to detect and track air targets.
SpaceX’s entire business lines have been deeply integrated into artificial intelligence technology. The revenue scale of related businesses has exceeded that of the traditional rocket launch sector, becoming the company’s second largest source of income after Starlink. SpaceX currently estimates that the overall reachable market size of its artificial intelligence track reaches US$26.5 trillion.
At the beginning of this month, the Secretary of the U.S. Air Force also officially confirmed for the first time that the U.S. military has completed the actual deployment of on-orbit space control weapons and can directly perform combat missions to defend U.S. joint forces at the orbital level. This is the first time in the history of the U.S. military that it has publicly admitted that it has an actual combat-oriented space weapon system.
