Trump rejects AI regulation, citing parallels with climate change, in U.N. address
The president also said artificial intelligence should be rebranded as “super intelligence”
In a recent speech to the United Nations General Assembly, President Donald Trump rejected international efforts to regulate artificial intelligence (AI), drawing parallels between AI and climate change. Trump falsely claimed that climate change, a hoax, has failed to live up to its warnings of dangers. He emphasized that the United States rejects any attempt to control AI and prefers to refer to it as "super intelligence" rather than "artificial intelligence."
Trump's comments come after he launched a poll to change the name of AI to "super, extreme, or supreme intelligence." His stance on AI contrasts sharply with the calls for greater regulation and "pacing" of the technology from leaders of prominent AI companies such as OpenAI's Sam Altman and Anthropic's Dario Amodei.
