GoKawiilTrump proposes renaming 'AI' to 'super intelligence' in government use
At the UN General Assembly, President Trump said he wants future US government documents to refer to artificial intelligence as 'super intelligence' or 'SI,' arguing the word 'artificial' makes the technology sound fake. He had previously run informal social media polls asking followers to choose between terms like 'superior intelligence' and 'super intelligence,' with 'super' narrowly winning. No formal executive order enacting the change has been issued.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The proposal follows a pattern of the administration renaming official terms, such as the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario, which critics may see as symbolic rebranding rather than policy substance. Without an executive order, the term change carries no legal weight yet, though it could signal how the administration wants AI publicly framed as it considers related initiatives like a proposed 'AI Force.'
- Trump said he wants 'AI' replaced with 'super intelligence' or 'SI' in government documents.
- He ran social media polls letting the public help choose the new terminology.
- No official order has been issued, and the White House pointed only to Trump's UN remarks.
