Trump signs document to rename AI “super intelligence”

President Trump announced a name change for artificial intelligence at a White House lunch with tech CEOs, but the move draws little support.

President Donald Trump said he signed a document that officially changes the name of artificial intelligence to “super intelligence.” He made the announcement at a White House lunch with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and other tech leaders. Trump called the change “morally binding” but gave no details on how it would be enforced. The move follows a social‑media poll where “super intelligence” beat “superior intelligence.” Critics say a rename does nothing for the safety concerns many Americans have about the technology.

Why it matters

Renaming AI does not address the growing public fear and industry calls for stronger regulation of powerful AI systems.
