Trump Proposes Renaming AI as 'Super Intelligence'

Trump proposed calling artificial intelligence "super intelligence" in U.S. documents, saying the new term better reflects the technology.

In a recent speech at the United Nations General Assembly, U.S. President Donald Trump suggested renaming artificial intelligence to "super intelligence." Trump argued that the term "artificial" gives the technology a fake, unappealing appearance, when in reality it is highly impressive. He urged the United States and other nations to begin using the more accurate term "super intelligence" in all official documents.

Trump proposed the abbreviation "S.I." for the new term. The concept of superintelligence refers to a hypothetical level of artificial intelligence that surpasses human intellectual capabilities and is often seen as a long-term objective in AI research, as well as a potential source of concern due to the risks it may pose. Trump's proposal comes at a time when AI development and regulation are major concerns both within the United States and internationally.
