Trump says US will henceforth call AI 'super intelligence,' rejects global entity for AI oversight
Trump said U.S. documents will use “super intelligence” and urged a more aggressive AI policy while rejecting global regulation.
On Tuesday at the United Nations General Assembly in New York, President Donald Trump officially renamed 'Artificial Intelligence' to 'Super Intelligence,' mandating all United States government documents use the new terminology going forward.
Trump's rebranding follows recent social media polls asking followers to choose between 'superior,' 'extreme,' and 'supreme' intelligence as alternative names, while he consistently rejected international regulation as a 'globalist' mechanism.
Comparing the technology's potential to the Industrial Revolution and the internet, Trump vowed not to 'stifle the growth' of the industry while announcing plans to form an 'AI Force' and name an AI 'Czar.'
While it remains unclear if a formal executive order mandates this change, the directive aims to align United States terminology with his administrative branding, separating policy from established global technological standards.
The announcement coincided with Trump's address noting his administration's 15 percent cut to the United Nations budget, emphasizing the United States will prioritize technological leadership over restrictive international oversight mechanisms.
Donald Trump announced at the UNGA meeting that he would rename AI to "Super Intelligence," claiming it was more accurate and sounded better, and urged the world to adopt the term.
In a time of relentless demands, the President of the United States of America and the Secretary-General of the United Nations have once again shown that they have different answers to the world's fissures. Will António Guterres be fired from one UN made for another era and that Washington no longer needs?
