United States President Donald Trump on Tuesday rechristened “artificial intelligence” to “super intelligence” during his address at the United Nations General Assembly and said that the US government documents would use the new term going forward.
“From this point forward, all of United States documents, and hopefully the world’s will be changed to use the much more accurate term ‘super’ as opposed to artificial. The announcement in UNGA comes days after Trump held polls on alternative names for AI .
So it’s super intelligence,” Trump said said while strongly advocating for AI. A user on X, while replying to a clip of Trump’s speech, asked Grok about the difference between artificial intelligence and super intelligence “according to the global scientific community”. Superintelligence is a hypothetical intellect that greatly exceeds the best human performance across virtually all domains of interest, often via recursive self-improvement after AGI,” Grok said. On Sunday, he proposed two new names after dropping “Supreme Intelligence” from his earlier poll. He asked users to choose between “Superior Intelligence” and “Extreme Intelligence”. 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. On Saturday, Trump also announced the creation of an “AI Force” in line with the US Space Force that he created during his first term as President. The force will be led by an “AI Czar,” Trump said.
“According to researchers including Nick Bostrom, artificial intelligence covers systems that perform cognitive tasks, mostly narrow ones today.
AI is the next Industrial Revolution, or Internet, but will be even larger and more impactful, possibly as much as 25% of our Country’s GDP,” Trump said. “I am forming the AI Force, much like I did Space Force, which has been a tremendous SUCCESS, in my First Term.
He said that “people” consider the term “Artificial Intelligence” inaccurate and “ineloquent” and invited users to vote on what they believed was a more appropriate name for the rapidly developing technology. To that end, I will be announcing, in the near future, the AI “Czar” — Only High I.Q. individuals need apply! On Saturday, Trump questioned whether artificial intelligence was the right term for the technology and went ahead with the poll for alternatives.
