Trump declares AI will be renamed ‘Super Intelligence’ in surprise rebrand

Donald Trump has declared that US government documents will begin referring to artificial intelligence as “Super Intelligence.” The president unveiled the rebrand during his UN speech, arguing the word “artificial” makes the technology sound fake. Trump said the United States would reject efforts to rein in AI growth, framing the race with China as a must-win global battle. He also dismissed warnings that advanced AI could threaten humanity, comparing the fears to what he called previous political “hoaxes.” The move immediately raised eyebrows because “superintelligence” already has a technical meaning: intelligence beyond human capability.
