US diplomats told to say ‘super intelligence’ — not ‘artificial intelligence' — after Trump's call

The State Department is instructing its diplomats to replace the term "artificial intelligence" with "super intelligence" in all communications following President Donald Trump's comments at the U.N. General Assembly. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Michael Drager sent an email to employees stating, "Please change all references of 'Artificial Intelligence' to 'Super Intelligence' in our documents and positions."

The change aims to reflect Trump's attempt to rebrand AI, arguing that the term "artificial" makes the technology seem fake. Trump argued that "super intelligence" more accurately describes the technology's potential.
