Description
US President Donald Trump has rebranded artificial intelligence during his General Assembly address at the UN. President Trump says the US will reject any attempts to control AI in the future which he says should be renamed to “super intelligence” or SI. The American leader believes the word “artificial” in AI sounds fake and that his name suggestion sounds “much better”. “Welcome to the new world of super intelligence-SI,” he said. “It sounds much better, it is much better, and it’s much more accurate. Let’s see if I have any power.”
Summary
During a UN General Assembly address, Donald Trump proposed rebranding artificial intelligence as 'Super Intelligence' (SI), arguing the term 'artificial' implies a lack of authenticity. His rhetoric emphasizes a rejection of international attempts to regulate or control the development of advanced AI systems. This stance signals a potentially significant shift in US policy toward prioritizing unhindered capability growth over global governance frameworks. Such an approach has direct implications for the international management of catastrophic risks associated with frontier AI models.
