  "summary": "The US State Department has instructed its diplomats to use the term \"super intelligence\" instead of \"artificial intelligence\" in all communications. According to The Hill, this change was made at the request of President Trump, who reportedly believes the term \"artificial\" makes \"intelligence\" sound \"fake\".\n\nAn email, obtained by The Associated Press, was sent to employees of the Bureau of International Organization Affairs, which is in charge of US diplomatic missions to UN and multilateral agencies. The email, titled \"Change in Nomenclature AI to SI\", instructs employees to use \"SI\" in all remarks, positions, and press elements moving forward.\n\nIt is not clear if other State Department bureaus will follow suit. The change was made following Trump's remarks at the UN General Assembly, where he reportedly said he would \"officially\" change the name of AI to \"super intelligence\".",
