Donald Trump announces plan to rename AI as 'Superintelligence

During the United Nations General Assembly, US President Donald Trump announced his intention to rename 'Artificial Intelligence' to 'Superintelligence' in US government documents. Trump stated that the term 'artificial' makes the technology sound 'fake' and expressed a desire for the rest of the world to adopt the new terminology. He emphasized that the US must lead the global race for technological dominance, particularly against China, and rejected calls to slow down AI development.

In response to the rapid advancement of AI, various international actors are calling for increased oversight. The TÜV Association has demanded mandatory, independent safety testing for frontier AI models before they reach the market. Additionally, a coalition of 22 nations, initiated by Finland and Norway, has called for the creation of an international regulatory body to establish global standards and ensure transparency regarding safety incidents.

Political leaders, including Austrian Chancellor Christian Stocker, have expressed support for UN-led efforts to create international AI frameworks to ensure human control over these systems. Meanwhile, some experts warn that the shift in terminology may obscure current risks and the need for immediate regulation of existing systems.
