UN-Generaldebatte: Trump will Begriff KI mit „Superintelligenz“ ersetzen
Donald Trump mag die Bezeichnung Künstliche Intelligenz nicht, weil sie die Technologie „fake“ erscheinen lasse. Der Präsident hat einen neuen Namen parat, an den sich seine Regierung nun halten soll.
In his address to the UN General Assembly, US President Donald Trump plans to replace the commonly used term "Artificial Intelligence" with "Superintelligence." This shift in terminology, he hopes, will be adopted worldwide in future US government documents. Trump argues that the term "Artificial Intelligence" gives the technology a "fake" impression, emphasizing that artificial intelligence is, in fact, astonishingly remarkable.
Despite growing warnings about potential existential risks posed by this technology, Trump advocates for accelerating its development in the United States. He asserts that the US leads China and the rest of the world in AI technology and plans to maintain this position. The president's remarks come after major labs, including Anthropic and OpenAI, which developed ChatGPT, voiced concerns about slowing down AI development due to the risk of losing control over the technology.
Some researchers also warn that AI could potentially lead to the extinction of humanity, although these scenarios are debated. In the US, there is an increasing movement against building large-scale data centers for AI, partly because of the rising costs of electricity and water. This issue is likely to affect Trump's Republican Party as they approach the November midterm elections.
