State Department Directs Diplomats to Rebrand 'Artificial Intelligence' as 'Super Intelligence'
The directive follows Trump’s push to rename AI and aligns U.S. diplomatic language with his message on competition with China.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump told the United Nations General Assembly he is officially renaming Artificial Intelligence to "Super Intelligence" in all U.S. government documents, claiming the term "artificial" makes the technology sound "fake."
- Trump pushed for the change after a Truth Social poll showed "super intelligence" defeated "superior" by a 2 to 1 margin, seeking to ensure the U.S. avoids stifling development in the competitive race against China.
- The State Department ordered diplomats to use "SI" in all communications, though digital ethics lecturer Simon Coghlan criticized the rebranding as "misleading" because it misappropriates a term researchers reserve for more advanced systems.
- Following the announcement, U.S. representatives used the term "SI" at a United Nations Security Council meeting on Wednesday, where tech executives urged the body to implement global guardrails for the developing technology.
- Calling himself a "hoax buster," Trump denounced calls for AI regulation last week, characterizing those warning of the technology's potential harms as "treasonous" and maintaining he is the only "guardrail" needed.
