Trump is right, 'Artificial Intelligence' is a bad name. I suggest 'Robo-Doodad.'
AI has a bad reputation — but calling it "super intelligence" doesn't help. The issue isn't "artificial," it's the word "intelligence."
President Donald Trump recently met with several tech leaders, including Mark Zuckerberg, Dario Amodei, and Jensen Huang. During a press briefing, Trump proposed renaming artificial intelligence to super intelligence. However, Trump believes that the word "intelligence" is what gives AI a negative reputation, rather than the term "artificial."
Trump suggests a new term: Robo Doodad. Regardless of political opinions, Trump's new nickname for AI seems to be well-received by many. During the press briefing, Trump emphasized that the term "super" is the best and simplest option for the new name, and he sees no harm in using the word "artificial" as long as the term is "super."
The term super intelligence aims to present AI in a more positive light by removing the negative perception associated with "artificial" and emphasizing the potential benefits of the technology.
