Trump wants AI renamed ‘super intelligence’ — and calls holdouts ‘the enemy’

WASHINGTON, October 9 — In a recent statement via his Truth Social platform, former US President Donald Trump expressed a desire to replace the term "artificial intelligence" with "super intelligence." Trump warned that anyone who continues to use the phrase "Artificial Intelligence" will be labeled as "THE ENEMY" by the White House.
This stance was echoed in a speech he delivered at the UN General Assembly last month, where he argued that "super intelligence" sounds more appealing. On September 30, Trump signed an executive order compelling the federal government to adopt the term "super intelligence." Despite the order not applying to the private sector, some major players, like Meta's Mark Zuckerberg, have already adopted the term.
Notably, Trump ally Elon Musk has also been using "super intelligence" in his X network posts. This semantic dispute is fundamentally political, as Trump attempts to portray AI in a more favorable light amid growing concerns regarding AI security and the expansion of data centers in the United States. Trump's penchant for renaming things or creating nicknames extends to designating the Gulf of Mexico as the "Gulf of America" and transforming Lake Ontario into "Lake America."
