Trump Says Anyone Who Does Not Call AI 'Super Intelligence' Is 'The Enemy'
The White House is pushing agencies and tech leaders to adopt the new term, while major companies and federal websites still use AI.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump declared anyone using the term 'Artificial Intelligence' to be 'THE ENEMY' on Truth Social, insisting the terminology implies the technology is 'fake' and demanding replacement with 'Super Intelligence.'
- In late September, Trump signed an executive order requiring federal agencies to use 'Super Intelligence' and 'SI' instead of 'Artificial Intelligence' and 'AI' in official communications, claiming the original terminology suggests the technology is 'fake.'
- Major tech oligarchs including Amazon's Jeff Bezos and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk have adopted the administration's preferred terminology, though OpenAI President Greg Brockman stated his company 'builds artificial intelligence' to help everyone.
- Experts warn that punishing companies or individuals for using specific terminology could constitute a First Amendment violation, as The White House lacks legal authority to enforce this mandate on the private sector.
- Trump has also addressed reports of potential military action against Iran, insisting 'We will not be attacking Iran at any time prior to the Midterm Elections' on November 3rd, while observers note these outbursts may distract from upcoming White House Office announcements.
