UN General Debate: Trump wants to replace the term AI with "superintelligence"

US President Donald Trump wants to replace the term "Artificial Intelligence" with "Superintelligence" in government documents, hoping the rest of the world will follow. He believes the current term makes the technology seem "fake". Trump also emphasized his push for accelerated AI development in the US, despite warnings of potential existential risks.

He stated that the US is ahead of China and the rest of the world in AI and will remain so. Some researchers and labs, including Anthropic and OpenAI, have recently warned about the risks of uncontrolled AI development.
