US President Donald Trump suggested renaming artificial intelligence as “super intelligence” or “SI” during his United Nations General Assembly address. Trump argued that the word “artificial” does not accurately reflect AI’s capabilities and said US government documents, and potentially documents worldwide, could use “super” instead. The proposal follows Trump’s recent public discussion about renaming AI. Before the UN speech, Trump had said AI safety concerns were exaggerated and indicated that the Justice Department could intervene if necessary. The term “superintelligence” is already used in technology and academic discussions for AI systems that could potentially exceed human capabilities across broad tasks. The remarks add to ongoing debate over AI development and oversight.
