US diplomats told to say''super intelligence' -- not 'artificial intelligence' -- after Trump's call
NEW YORK (AP) -- The State Department is ordering diplomats in its international organizations bureau to use the term "super intelligence" instead of
The U.S. Department of State has instructed its diplomats in the Bureau of International Organizations Affairs to refer to artificial intelligence as "super intelligence" in all communications, following President Donald Trump's rebranding of the technology during his address to the U.N. General Assembly. Michael Drager, deputy assistant secretary of state for the Bureau, sent an email to employees on Tuesday, specifying that the term "Super Intelligence" would replace "Artificial Intelligence" in all documents and positions.
The email, titled "Change in Nomenclature AI to SI," was obtained by The Associated Press. It is unclear if other State Department bureaus will follow suit. President Trump stated that referring to AI as "artificial" makes the technology seem "fake," and he believes "super intelligence" more accurately describes the advancement. The change may also affect the name of the "AI Force," which Trump announced recently.
