Donald Trump says "use the much more accurate term ‘super’" for AI in U.S. documents

At the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday, President Donald Trump told world leaders that the United States leads China and others in artificial intelligence and that he will not slow its development. He rejected government AI safety standards, saying law enforcement could handle problems if they arise, and dismissed warnings about humans losing control as a hoax. He called for a new name for AI, preferring “super” to “artificial” in official U.S. records and hoping other nations follow, a change that could confuse because superintelligence already refers to a hypothetical AI beyond human cognition. They preceded his White House meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping this week. OpenAI argued that self-improving AI should not be developed without safeguards and proposed a basis for international safety standards, while U.S. officials have shown interest in a China hotline for AI incidents.
