US President Donald Trump on Sunday proposed two new names for artificial intelligence after dropping “Supreme Intelligence” from his earlier poll. He asked users to choose between “Superior Intelligence” and “Extreme Intelligence”.
He then suggested three alternative names in a poll and asked the public to share their preference. “This is a Poll, and I would appreciate everybody voting! Which is the best name for this ever growing “Revolution? He invited users to vote on what they believed was a more appropriate name for the rapidly developing technology.
Trump said that “Supreme Intelligence” was “losing badly to both Superior and Extreme Intelligence” due to its “relationship to the Supreme Court” and removed it from the poll. He shared the poll on Truth Social and X, announcing a new vote between “Superior Intelligence” and “Extreme Intelligence” and urging people to choose. Trump said that “people” consider the term “Artificial Intelligence” inaccurate and “ineloquent”. “Many people think that the words ‘Artificial Intelligence’ are inaccurate, and very ineloquent, relative to AI, or Artificial Intelligence,” Trump wrote.
A day earlier, Trump questioned whether artificial intelligence was the right term for the technology.
