Trump says anyone who does not call AI 'super intelligence' is 'the enemy'

President Donald Trump, who has advocated for referring to artificial intelligence as "super intelligence," stated on Thursday that those who continue to use the term "artificial intelligence" will be considered enemies, without elaborating on the specific repercussions. The White House views anyone persistently using the term "Artificial Intelligence" as opposed to the increasingly accepted and more accurate term "Super Intelligence" as enemies.

Trump made his proposed name change a point of emphasis during a speech before the United Nations General Assembly last month, claiming that his new term "sounds much better." In late September, Trump issued an executive order mandating the use of "super intelligence" throughout the U.S. government. While this directive does not apply to the private sector, some companies, such as Meta under Mark Zuckerberg, have already adopted the term.

Notably, Trump ally Elon Musk is also using "super intelligence" in his posts on his X network. The semantic debate surrounding the term is fundamentally a political issue, as Trump, despite his strong support for AI, seeks to promote the use of "super intelligence" in political discourse.
