All United States government documents will use the term "Super Intelligence" instead of "Artificial Intelligence," President Trump announced during an address to the United Nations. Trump stated the word "artificial" makes the intelligence sound fake and is therefore inaccurate. The new terminology, abbreviated as "SI," applies to all US official records, with the president calling for other nations to adopt the change to better reflect the technology's nature.
The rebranding follows social media polls where the president tested alternative names and accompanies a rejection of international efforts to regulate the technology, which he called a "globalist scheme." Trump compared the potential impact of superintelligence to the Industrial Revolution and the internet, stating that the nation dominating the field will emerge as the global winner. He claimed the US currently leads China "by a lot" and vowed to encourage growth rather than stifle it.
