During his address at the UN General Assembly on Tuesday morning, Donald Trump stated that the US is 'officially' renaming artificial intelligence to 'super intelligence.' According to The Verge's account, he explained this by saying the word 'artificial' makes the intelligence seem fake.
In the same speech, Trump spoke about Iran, 'globalists,' and transgender people. The source provides no confirmation that US agencies have actually adopted a new official name.
The practical meaning of the statement remains unclear: available materials contain no information on a regulatory act, an administration order, or a response from relevant bodies. Therefore, this should be regarded as a statement by Trump, not as an established change in policy or terminology.
editorial commentary
Why it matters
The likely consequence is a brief public discussion on the politicization of terms in the AI field, but it is premature to conclude that official policy is changing. The next observable signal will be a document or comment from a US agency. Significant uncertainty remains because only metadata from an independent retelling is available, without primary confirmation.
