Trump Orders US Agencies to Refer to AI as 'Super Intelligence'

The US president announced that government documents will now use the term "super intelligence" instead of "artificial intelligence," telling the UN that Washington will only encourage such systems.

US President Donald Trump has ordered all federal agencies to cease using the term artificial intelligence and replace it with "super intelligence." According to reports by NBC News and Breaking Defense, Trump stated that from this point forward, official US documents will be updated to reflect the term, which he called far more accurate, adding that he hopes the rest of the world will follow suit. Speaking at the United Nations General Assembly, the president added that the United States will only encourage superintelligence in AI development. The remarks come amid growing warnings within the international community regarding the potential consequences of the technology.
