Donald Trump says US is officially renaming artificial intelligence to super intelligence
During a United Nations General Assembly address, former President Donald Trump claimed the United States is now "officially" renaming artificial intelligence to "super intelligence." He argued that the word "artificial" makes the technology sound fake and said the new term would appear in all U.S. documents.
Key points
- Trump claimed the United States is officially renaming artificial intelligence to "super intelligence" in a UN speech.
- He cited past symbolic renamings of geographic features and said the new term would appear in U.S. documents.
- No legislation, executive order, or agency action was announced; the claim remains unverified.
Trump linked the proposed rename to previous symbolic changes he has made, such as renaming the Gulf of Mexico and Denali, and suggested digital maps would soon reflect the new label. He did not present any legislation, executive order, or agency directive to support the claim, and no other U.S. officials have confirmed the change. The speech was largely rhetorical, mixing criticism of climate policy, globalists, and other topics with the naming proposal.
