Donald Trump announced at the United Nations General Assembly that the United States is officially renaming artificial intelligence to super intelligence. He stated this change during a speech where he also criticised Iran and globalists. The former president argued that the word artificial makes intelligence sound fake to the public. He claimed the United States rejects attempts to control the technology under its old name. Trump insisted the new terminology better reflects the capabilities of modern systems. This announcement appears to be a political statement rather than a formal government policy update.
The shift highlights how political rhetoric can influence public perception of technology without changing technical standards. Renaming a field does not alter the underlying code or the risks associated with advanced algorithms. Such linguistic changes often serve to reshape narratives around innovation and control. The administration’s stance suggests a preference for terms that emphasise capability over origin.
- The term artificial intelligence remains widely used in academia and industry.
- No official legislative change was passed to mandate this new name.
- The speech focused heavily on broader geopolitical issues alongside the terminology shift.
