Trump declares US will rebrand 'artificial intelligence' as 'super intelligence'
In remarks tied to AI policy, President Trump said the United States is renaming artificial intelligence to 'super intelligence' in official documents, arguing the word 'artificial' wrongly implies the technology is fake. He also dismissed warnings about AI risks as coming from the same critics he blames for past controversies like Russia collusion claims and climate change alarms, and vowed the US would maintain its lead over China.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
A presidential push to change official terminology signals an attempt to shape public perception of AI as an unambiguously positive force rather than a technology with real risks. It also underscores how AI policy is becoming entangled with broader political rhetoric and the US-China technology rivalry, potentially affecting how safety concerns are addressed in future regulation.
- Trump wants US government documents to use 'super intelligence' instead of 'artificial intelligence'
- He dismissed AI safety warnings as originating from the same people behind other disputed claims
