Trump wants to rename AI as 'super-intelligence' at UN

Donald Trump proposed renaming 'Artificial Intelligence' to 'Super-Intelligence' during his speech at the United Nations General Assembly on September 22. The former U.S. President argued that the new term better encapsulates the technology's essence, adding, 'It sounds much better.' Trump announced that the U.S. Administration will adopt 'Super-Intelligence' in official documents, hoping other countries will also embrace the 'SI' terminology.

Trump's declaration came as he dismissed calls for international control mechanisms on AI development. He stressed his commitment to not hinder AI progress, describing its development as 'bigger than the industrial revolution.' In contrast, more than 20 countries, including Canada, Germany, and Australia, advocate for stricter AI regulations. These nations have proposed a UN-backed international regulatory body to oversee AI advancements.

This proposal aligns with Trump's earlier initiatives to create 'AI Forces' and appoint an 'AI Tsar.' He has criticized the term 'artificial intelligence,' suggesting it misleadingly implies the technology is 'fake.' The debate over AI regulation continues, with Trump's vision sharply diverging from other global leaders who support more stringent oversight.
