Trump: Anyone saying "AI" is "THE ENEMY!" The White House uses it
President Trump on Thursday called anyone who uses "Artificial Intelligence" instead of "Super Intelligence" "THE ENEMY!" — even as the White House continues using the term "AI." Why it matters: Trump's push to rebrand AI as "super intelligence" clashes with established terminology in the technology industry.

On Thursday, President Trump declared anyone who employs Artificial Intelligence (AI) instead of Super Intelligence (SI) to be an enemy, despite the White House's ongoing use of the term AI. This push to rebrand AI as SI contradicts the current industry terminology. The White House regards anyone who uses AI as opposed to SI to be an enemy, according to Trump's claim on Truth Social.
Trump signed an executive order in September that emphasized SI over AI, although it did not impose penalties for using the term. The order defines SI using the established federal legal definition of AI, instructing federal agencies to change their AI descriptions in official communications. The State Department has already mandated diplomats to use SI following Trump's United Nations speech on September 22.
However, the White House still uses AI, including on its AI-focused website, AI.gov, and the Office of Science and Technology Policy references AI. When an Axios reporter inquired about AI on America.gov's chatbot, it responded that the executive branch utilizes SI, not the older term. It remains to be seen if the White House will revise its websites to align with Trump's preferred terminology.
