Trump renames AI ‘super intelligence’ as leaders jostle over dangers
Donald Trump stood by his firm opposition to regulating AI, saying 'artificial' undersold the technology and hoping others adopt the new term.
United Nations leaders are debating the future of artificial intelligence, with US President Donald Trump sparking controversy by renaming AI as "super intelligence." Trump's administration has taken a firm stance against regulating AI, stating that the term "artificial" fails to capture the technology's potential. He compared AI safety warnings to past climate change warnings, arguing that both pose existential risks.
However, leaders from over 20 European countries are pushing for binding safety measures, warning that AI could outpace control efforts. Meanwhile, China and the United States, the leading AI superpowers, have not endorsed these calls for regulation. French President Emmanuel Macron proposed an open-source AI model, shared among nations to avoid dependence on any single power.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres urged the US and China to establish dialogue on AI, likening it to Cold War diplomacy between the US and the Soviet Union.
