President Donald Trump on Tuesday launched America.gov, a government chatbot powered by artificial intelligence. It will allow the public to research government services. 

“This kind of innovation in government is just a preview of what is possible with super intelligence,” Trump said, the Washington Post reported. 

Initially, the website will help users search for information across government websites. Later, the goal is for the website to help people enroll in government programs, such as Medicare. 

While many Democrats in Congress are pressing for greater regulation of the AI industry, Trump used the announcement of the launch to assure the public the risks are being exaggerated. 

“We do not surrender to fears about what technologies will do to us. We decide that those technologies will do for us some very, very incredible things," Trump said. 

The launch was part of a day-long event featuring Cabinet members and tech executives. AI executives are scheduled to meet with Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La. 

Joe Gebbia, the chief design officer of the United States and architect of the new website, which is the result of a partnership between Google’s Gemini and SpaceXAI’s Grok, told Fox News on Monday that it's a "concierge to navigate government." 

“Don’t think of it as a website, it’s more of a conversation that you start with the government to try to get access to the answers you need,” Gebbia said.
