What to know

  • Trump rejected international 'globalist' governance of AI and rebranded the technology as 'super intelligence' to avoid the term 'artificial,' which he said makes it sound fake.
  • The President framed AI development as strategic competition with China, claiming the U.S. leads 'by a lot' and vowing to maintain that advantage.
  • Trump pledged to encourage rather than restrict AI growth while using the Justice Department to monitor and rein in only if necessary.

“Changing the name, and at the use of the word 'artificial' makes intelligence sound fake, it makes it sound fake, and it is not fake. It's actually amazing, but we have to be careful.”

He stated the Justice Department and other law enforcement bodies will monitor developments but only to 'rein things in if we have to,' while the primary stance is encouragement rather than restriction.

    “I'm not going to stifle growth of something that will be bigger than the Industrial Revolution… We're going to encourage it, not rein it in.”
