Trump Advocates for 'Super Intelligence' Terminology Over 'Artificial Intelligence'

<p>President Donald Trump stated on Thursday that individuals who continue to use the term "artificial intelligence" instead of his preferred term "Super Intelligence" are considered "the enemy" of the White House. This declaration was made on Truth Social as he promotes the rebranding of the technology.</p><p>Last week, Trump signed an executive order directing federal agencies to adopt the term "Super Intelligence," or "SI," in official communications. Several prominent technology executives have supported this new terminology.</p><p>Elon Musk expressed his support for the term on social media, stating, "No more AI. SI. It’s better." Musk also corrected himself while responding to a reporter's question, saying, "I think it’s worth highlighting the positive benefits of AI — SI, pardon me. I think by far the most likely outcome is major abundance." He has indicated plans to rename SpaceX's artificial intelligence unit to SpaceXSI.</p><p>In an interview with Fox News’s Bret Baier, Jeff Bezos endorsed the term, saying, "I do like SI. Artificial means fake. It’s a big road to change, everybody getting to say Super Intelligence only because they’re so used to AI at this point…but I do understand the desire to get away from the word artificial."</p><p>Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang also used the term during a meeting with Trump and other tech leaders, stating, "Yesterday at the White House, leaders from across our industry came together to sign the White House Accord on Super Intelligence."</p><p>Mark Zuckerberg of Meta used the term "superintelligence" prior to Trump’s order, stating on September 28, "We believe superintelligence will create significant new opportunities for all people and businesses."</p><p>The rebranding has faced criticism. War Room reporter Natalie Winters remarked that focusing on "Super Intelligence" is not what people voted for. Additionally, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee computing professor Thomas Haigh argued that the rebranding would not reassure the public.</p>
