Trump renames AI 'super intelligence' at UN, cites Truth Social poll

At the U.N. General Assembly, Trump announces the official rebranding of artificial intelligence based on a poll from his social media platform.

What to know

  • Trump announced at the U.N. that the U.S. will officially rename 'artificial intelligence' to 'super intelligence,' basing the change on a poll of his Truth Social followers that had 30 percent support.
  • Trump claims the term 'artificial' makes AI sound fake and that the new name is more accurate, pledging to change all U.S. government documents and calling on the world to follow.
  • The announcement comes amid concurrent lawsuits from watchdog groups and San Francisco alleging Trump and aide Natalie Harp are operating an illegal pay-to-play scheme through Truth API, charging $100,000 monthly for early access to government posts.

“In other words, welcome to the new world of super intelligence—S.I. Let's see if that goes. It sounds much better, it is much better, and it's much more accurate.”

    Trump announces AI rebranding at U.N. General Assembly

    At the U.N. General Assembly, Trump declared that artificial intelligence is henceforth officially called "super intelligence" (SI). He stated that the U.S. would change all government documents to use the new terminology and called on the world to do the same.

    “Here and after officially called 'super intelligence' changing the name and that the use of the word artificial makes intelligence fake. It makes it sound fake, and it is not fake, it's actually amazing.”
