Renaming of Artificial Intelligence
During a speech at the UN General Assembly, Donald Trump declared that the United States is officially renaming artificial intelligence (AI) to "super intelligence." He asserted that the term "artificial" implies a lack of authenticity, stating, "the use of the word artificial makes intelligence fake."
Rationale for the Change
Trump explained that the new term, "super intelligence" (SI), is considered more accurate because, in his view, AI is not fake but "amazing." He indicated that from this point forward, all United States documents, and hopefully those globally, would adopt the new terminology.
Context and Previous Renaming Attempts
This announcement follows previous instances where Trump has suggested renaming various landmarks, including the Gulf of Mexico and Denali. He acknowledged the potential challenge in enforcing this change, stating, "Let’s see if I have any power. Maybe I do, and maybe I don’t, we’re gonna find out pretty soon."
Critique of AI Concerns
Trump also used the opportunity to criticize those who express concerns about AI, drawing a parallel to discussions around climate change. He suggested that the same individuals who previously warned about global warming are now predicting negative outcomes for AI, such as robots attacking humanity.
