Jimmy Kimmel Rips Trump’s Push to Rename AI ‘Super Intelligence’: OpenAI Must Be ‘Very Excited’
"He's obsessed with changing the names of things," the late night host adds The post Jimmy Kimmel Rips Trump’s Push to Rename AI ‘Super Intelligence’: OpenAI Must Be ‘Very Excited’ appeared first on TheWrap .
Jimmy Kimmel took aim at President Donald Trump’s attempt to rename artificial intelligence as “super intelligence,” suggesting that OpenAI must be “very excited” by the development. On Tuesday's episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” the host pointed out Trump's recent luncheon with tech leaders, including Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Dario Amodei from Anthropic.
Kimmel quipped about Trump’s lunch with the tech executives, remarking, “At least we all had a better day than he did.” Alongside Zuckerberg and Musk, Amodei, Brockman from OpenAI, and Mike Johnson were present. Kimmel explained that Trump organized the meeting to “get to know” these leaders of powerful AI companies, but also hoped to generate enthusiasm for his proposed name change – “SI.”
The host noted the irony in OpenAI’s reaction, stating, “Yes, yes. I am sure the guy whose company’s name is OpenAI is very excited about this development.” Kimmel criticized Trump’s age, suggesting that an 80-year-old setting the guardrails for AI is akin to a grandparent setting up a Wi-Fi router. The White House did not respond to a request for comment on Kimmel’s remarks.
