Trump decides to rename AI – president proposes new term
Donald Trump proposed replacing the term "artificial intelligence" with "superintelligence" (SI), claiming that the word "artificial" creates a sense of something fake. The US president ordered changes to official documents and expressed hope for international adoption of the new term, calling it the beginning of a "world of superintelligence."
Donald Trump proposed renaming artificial intelligence, stating that the familiar term "artificial" creates a sense of something fake. Instead, the US president suggested using the term "superintelligence" — SI. According to Trump, the new designation should appear in American official documents and, in the future, gain traction beyond the US. The president believes that the word "super" more accurately conveys the capabilities of modern technology. "From this moment on, all documents in the United States, and hopefully around the world, will be changed," Trump said, referring to the transition to the new terminology. He also called this the beginning of a new era, proposing the phrase "world of superintelligence — SI." At the same time, Trump acknowledged that it is unclear how widely the new name will catch on. "We'll see how it goes. It sounds much better," the president noted.
