Donald Trump has rejected the notion of a global entity overseeing artificial intelligence, asserting that the United States is currently leading in AI development and intends to maintain that position without stifling growth. He expressed his view that AI should not be referred to as 'artificial' and proposed the term 'super intelligence' (SI), urging for its adoption globally.
Trump's remarks came as 22 nations, on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly, adopted a declaration emphasizing that artificial intelligence must remain under human direction, oversight, and control. Finnish President Alexander Stubb, one of the organizers of this declaration, suggested that a global supervisory regime for AI would be in the interest of both China and the United States.
