Trump’s newest rebranding project: The technology formerly known as AI

TL;DR

Donald Trump wants to rebrand artificial intelligence. He is trying to label the technology as “superintelligence” and says he pitched the term to Chinese President Xi Jinping. The Washington Post describes the push as his newest rebranding project.

Nauti's Take

A new label could pull more public attention to AI policy in the US, which is a small opportunity. The catch is that “superintelligence” promises far more than current models deliver and shifts expectations in politics and business.

Anyone deciding on AI budgets should look at concrete capabilities and ignore the branding.
