‘Superior’ or ‘Extreme Intelligence’? Trump drops poll to choose new name for AI

On Sunday, US President Donald Trump announced that he was dropping "Supreme Intelligence" from a poll asking the public to name artificial intelligence. He proposed two new names for AI: "Superior Intelligence" and "Extreme Intelligence". Trump stated that "Supreme Intelligence" was being "outpaced" by the other two options due to its association with the Supreme Court.

He shared the poll on Truth Social and X, urging citizens to participate in the voting process. Earlier, Trump had questioned whether "Artificial Intelligence" was the appropriate term for the technology, suggesting it was "inaccurate" and "ineloquent". He invited users to vote for a more suitable name, emphasizing that artificial intelligence was undergoing a "Revolution".

Trump's comments come as worries about AI's economic consequences rise, alongside significant investments in data centers, computing power, and other infrastructure needed to support the technology. The President also criticized opponents of AI and data centers, asserting that he would not allow the industry's "destruction". He announced plans to create a new government AI Force as part of his latest strong defense of AI.
