Trump signs document declaring AI renamed 'super intelligence'
President Trump told reporters he signed a document asserting that artificial intelligence has been 'officially' renamed 'super intelligence,' claiming it was endorsed by tech executives gathered at a White House lunch. When asked whether the document carries any binding force, Trump said it is 'morally binding,' though the White House did not clarify further details about its contents or legal status.

The move echoes Trump's past symbolic renaming orders, such as relabeling the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario, suggesting a pattern of using naming exercises as branding tools rather than substantive policy. Coming as public polling shows rising unease about AI's rapid growth, the rebrand attempt could be read as an effort to reshape public perception of the technology rather than address underlying concerns about its risks.
