According to The Register, President Trump told the UN General Assembly on Tuesday that the term "artificial intelligence" should be abandoned in favor of "superintelligence." He argued that the word "artificial" makes intelligence sound fake, and said US documents — and hopefully the world — will adopt "super" as the preferred term, with "SI" as a possible acronym.
Trump also used the speech to reject what he called a "globalist scheme" to control AI, describing the danger of the technology as a "hoax" in the same way he described anthropogenic climate change. He said the US would watch AI development "closely through the Department of Justice," which appears to mark a shift from his earlier promise to create an "AI Force" modeled on a branch of the military.
The source notes it is unclear what Trump meant by "globalist scheme," but one possibility is the Call for Control of Frontier AI Models issued by Finland and signed by leaders from the EU, Norway, Australia, Canada, and other allies. That proposal calls for mandatory pre-deployment testing, independent evaluation, shared reporting of serious incidents, and exploring a new international institution to set standards and verify compliance.
