Trump Tells UN US Will Rename AI as "Super Intelligence" in Official Documents
President Trump used a UN address to declare that the US government will replace the term "artificial intelligence" with "super intelligence" across official documents. He had previewed the change days earlier on Truth Social, arguing the existing term was inaccurate and inelegant, and floated alternatives like "Superior Intelligence" and "Extreme Intelligence" before settling on "super."
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The renaming carries no technical or policy substance but signals how casually terminology tied to a technology with major economic and safety implications can be reshaped by presidential whim. It also echoes rhetoric from AI industry figures who promote grand narratives about superintelligent systems, at a moment when researchers and executives like Dario Amodei are publicly warning about existential risks from rapid AI development.
- Trump announced the US will officially use "super intelligence" instead of "artificial intelligence" in government documents.
- The proposal originated from a Truth Social post before being repeated at the United Nations.
- The move aligns with Silicon Valley narratives about superintelligent AI amid growing industry debate over AI safety risks.
