GoKawiilTech CEOs adopt Trump's 'super intelligence' term for AI
Following President Trump's push to replace the term 'artificial intelligence' with 'super intelligence,' several Silicon Valley executives have begun using the new phrasing. Elon Musk, Marc Benioff, Nvidia's Jensen Huang, and Microsoft's Satya Nadella have all referenced or adopted 'super intelligence' in company branding or public statements after attending or responding to a related White House summit and executive order.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The shift suggests industry leaders may be prioritizing political alignment with the administration over linguistic precedent, especially as Trump reportedly framed continued use of 'AI' as adversarial. This pattern could reflect broader efforts by tech executives to avoid regulatory friction or secure favor with the White House, a notable change from the more adversarial relationship many had with Trump's first administration.
- Trump pushed government agencies and companies to use 'super intelligence' instead of 'AI'.
- Musk, Benioff, Huang, and Nadella have all used or referenced the new terminology.
- The trend highlights Silicon Valley's efforts to align more closely with the Trump administration this term.
