    Trump proposes rebranding AI as 'super intelligence'

    In a speech, Trump introduced a new name for artificial intelligence, arguing that the term "artificial" gives a false impression of the technology. He called for adopting "super intelligence" or "SI" as the replacement term.

    “The use of the word artificial makes it sound fake. It's not fake, it's actually amazing. But we have to be careful. Welcome to the new world of super intelligence - SI.”
