US Treasury pushes global partners to rename AI as 'super intelligence'
Washington is urging its international partners to adopt the term "super intelligence" instead of "artificial intelligence," a top US Treasury official revealed to Reuters. Treasury Undersecretary Erin Browne explained that the change aligns with President Trump's directive for government agencies to use "super intelligence" when discussing the technology.
The United States, currently holding the rotating G-20 presidency, aims to make the switch a global standard. Negotiations with other IMF shareholders are ongoing, with some members expressing reservations. If the US does not support the consensus statement, the IMF chair, Saudi Finance Minister Mohammed Al-Jadaan, may issue a separate statement summarizing member views.
Browne emphasized that the focus is on "super intelligence" as a driving force for US and global growth.
