US President Donald Trump is displeased that the term "artificial intelligence" (AI) remains the popular label for a technology he believes should be called "super intelligence" (SI).

Despite Trump's efforts, AI remains the widely accepted term among experts, companies, and foreign governments. The origin of the term is rooted in research decades ago when computer scientist John McCarthy initially coined AI at a 1956 conference.
McCarthy later regretted the name, preferring "computational intelligence," but Trump's attempt to rebrand has met mixed reactions.
