'It Sounds Much Better.' Trump Executive Order Renames AI to 'Super Intelligence'
After renaming the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario, President Trump is now trying to rebrand artificial intelligence. On Tuesday, Trump took the unusual step of signing an executive order requiring federal agencies to drop the terms "artificial intelligence" and "AI" in favor of Super Intelligence" (SI), which "more appropriately captures the promise, potential, and rapidly advancing capabilities of these technologies,” the EO says. This only applies to the executive branch, but federal agencies under its purview “will not acknowledge the usage of ‘Artificial Intelligence’ and ‘AI’ in any applicable setting,” the EO says.
