  "account": "President Donald Trump's recent push to rename artificial intelligence as \"Super Intelligence\" has sparked debate. The US president suggested on his Truth Social platform that more descriptive terms like \"super\", \"extreme\", or \"supreme\" intelligence were more accurate. In a poll, Trump supporters chose \"Super Intelligence\" by a majority. The US now plans to use this term in federal documents. However, tech experts argue that AI models, while advanced, do not reach the level of \"superintelligence\". They warn that the term could stoke fears about AI's potential impact on humanity, including job displacement and loss of control over technology. Despite this, some industry players see the new term as a marketing opportunity, as their systems already outperform humans on many tasks. However, major AI firms have pushed back on plans to go public due to recent cybersecurity scares. While the term \"Super Intelligence\" may suit the US AI industry, experts doubt it will catch on widely, as the technology remains far from achieving that level.",
  "summary": "Donald Trump thinks the name artificial intelligence sounds \"fake\" and has ordered US agencies to use \"Super Intelligence\" instead. Yet, tech firms and researchers have little reason to play along.",
