Trump Renames Artificial Intelligence at U.N. Assembly
During his speech at the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday, President Trump made a surprising announcement: the phrase “artificial intelligence” will be changed to “super intelligence” in all official U.S. documents. He stated, “The United States also totally rejects any attempt to construct a globality scheme to control for the artificial intelligence being spoken of so much now, hereinafter called super intelligence. Changing the name.”
According to reports, the president explained his reasoning behind this name change. He expressed concern about the implications of the word “artificial.” “The use of the word artificial makes intelligence sound fake,” Trump remarked. “It is not fake. It’s actually amazing. But we have to be careful. In fact, it is exactly the opposite of what it purports.”
Trump hopes his new terminology will gain traction internationally. “From this point forward, all of United States documents and hopefully the world’s will be changed to use the much more accurate term super as opposed to artificial,” he added.
The president concluded by introducing an abbreviation for the term. “In other words, welcome to the new world of super intelligence — SI,” he said. “Let’s see if that goes. It sounds much better. It is much better, and it’s much more accurate.”
In a previous report, it was noted that Trump is also working on establishing an “AI Force” and appointing a new AI czar. He conducted a poll on Truth Social asking his followers what the new name for AI should be, suggesting options like “Superior Intelligence,” “Extreme Intelligence,” and “Supreme Intelligence.” However, he mentioned that “Supreme Intelligence” wasn’t favored due to its association with the Supreme Court.
Industry leaders in AI have released new models while simultaneously calling for regulation. David Sacks pointed out that the calls for a slowdown from tech giants like Dario Amodei, Sam Altman, and Elon Musk might not stem from altruism, but rather from a desire to dominate the industry and avoid antitrust issues—a nuance that Trump recognizes.
