Trump just renamed AI. He’s telling us what’s coming next

Washington now calls it super intelligence, not artificial intelligence. If the name proves accurate, our schools, our jobs and even our homes will be unrecognisable.

Trump just renamed AI. He’s telling us what’s coming next

Donald Trump has redefined artificial intelligence (AI) as "super intelligence" (SI) in official U.S. documents, signaling a shift in the global conversation around this technology. This move, announced at the United Nations General Assembly and followed by a federal executive order, is part of a broader effort to adopt the term "super intelligence" across various industries.

This rebranding comes amid increasing adoption by major tech companies, including Meta, Nvidia, Google, OpenAI, xAI, and Anthropic, who have signed a voluntary accord on super intelligence. While some may dismiss this as mere branding, the term carries significant implications, as it refers to AI systems that vastly surpass human intelligence in virtually all domains.

Experts warn that this could render many current jobs obsolete, making schools essential not just for academic knowledge but also for teaching essential life skills like emotional intelligence and social interaction. Additionally, the rise of super intelligent machines could lead to a universal high income, where work becomes a choice rather than a necessity.

As we approach the era of super intelligence, the question remains: how will societies adapt to a world where machines outperform humans in nearly every aspect?
