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.
US officials have publicly objected to Australia's proposed legislation that would let users opt out of algorithm-driven content recommendations, characterising the move as censorship. Separately, at the UN, President Trump downplayed calls for AI regulation, suggesting the technology be renamed "super intelligence" rather than artificial intelligence.
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.
The FCC is taking public comments on a rulemaking that would override state and local permitting rules for wired broadband deployment, including a 120-day permit deadline and limits on fees charged to providers. Groups representing mayors, counties and cities—including the US Conference of Mayors and National League of Cities—filed comments in September opposing the plan, calling local permitting essential for public safety rather than a deployment barrier. Broadband providers support the FCC's proposal.
Researchers identified more than 1,400 local policies across 157 cities addressing clean energy, building efficiency and extreme heat preparedness, according to a new study. The findings come as the Trump administration has restricted states from using Inflation Reduction Act rebates to help homeowners replace fossil fuel appliances with heat pumps.
President Trump's latest federal financial disclosure shows 1,156 securities transactions in July, valued between roughly $79 million and $270 million combined. The biggest moves were July 20 sales of between $5 million and $25 million each of Microsoft and Amazon shares, alongside a $1-5 million sale of Oracle stock and a purchase of $500,001-$1 million in Nvidia. Days later, on July 23, he reported buying smaller amounts of Microsoft and Amazon.
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.'
After the Trump administration cut funding for the US Global Change Research Program and pulled past climate reports offline, the American Geophysical Union and American Meteorological Society created a new system to preserve this research. Instead of one coordinated government report, teams of scientists will publish peer-reviewed papers in journals that feed into a shared 'US Climate Collection.' The first entry, authored by 149 researchers—many of whom had worked on the now-defunct federal assessment—was published simultaneously in two journals to set priorities for future submissions.
San Francisco filed a state lawsuit against Trump Media & Technology Group, alleging its Truth API service — which charges customers $100,000 a month for early access to posts from Trump and other officials on Truth Social — violates California's Unfair Competition Law and federal anti-corruption statutes. The suit cites instances, including an August 21st post about ground beef tariffs that moved cattle futures, as evidence that early access to presidential posts can be financially valuable.
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."
Rep. Pramila Jayapal faced an armed intruder at her Seattle home in 2022 who shouted racist threats, while Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene endured hundreds of death threats that intensified and turned against her family after she broke publicly with Donald Trump. Greene announced her resignation from Congress in November 2025, citing the danger to her family as too great a burden to bear.
