Trump says he’s renaming AI to ‘super intelligence’
TL;DR
President Donald Trump says he is renaming artificial intelligence to super intelligence and that the new term will be reflected on government documents. The announcement comes amid growing public anxiety about artificial intelligence and its consequences.
Nauti's Take
A new label changes nothing about the technology, yet it can shift the debate in Washington: framing AI as super intelligence may help secure budget and attention for public programs, an opportunity for funded projects. The risk is confusion, since superintelligence means something very different in research than today's models.
Companies working on government contracts should define terms precisely in their agreements.
