In a UN address, President Trump said the US rejects global efforts to regulate AI and announced he wants federal documents to replace 'artificial intelligence' with 'super intelligence,' arguing the word 'artificial' makes it sound fake. He also dismissed warnings about AI risks, comparing them to past claims about climate change, and said the US is leading China in the technology race.
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.
In a speech to the UN General Assembly, President Trump rejected any global effort to regulate artificial intelligence, arguing that the lack of strict climate regulation has worked out fine and using that as reasoning against AI oversight. He also said he wants to rename artificial intelligence as 'super intelligence,' claiming the word 'artificial' makes it sound 'fake.'
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.
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."
