Trump Pushes 'Super Intelligence' Over 'AI' Term, Calling Opponents 'The Enemy'
Overview
President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that the White House considers anyone who uses the term "Artificial Intelligence" instead of "Super Intelligence" to be "THE ENEMY," according to Gizmodo, which reports that ai.gov was changed to read "SI" and that si.gov appears dormant.
The post is described only as a rhetorical declaration; Gizmodo reports no attached policy or consequence.
The Verge reports a more formal step: Trump ordered federal use of "AI" replaced with "super intelligence," renaming the Center for AI Standards and Innovation to the Center for Advancing Innovation and Standards for Super Intelligence (CAISSI). Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Jensen Huang, and Sam Altman have praised the term, though Altman said OpenAI won't change its name. The Verge's Adi Robertson argues the rebrand is a euphemism that cannot dispel public concerns, such as those over data centers, and that Congress would still need to adopt it.
