Key points
- trump orders agencies to use "super intelligence" instead of ai
- elon musk will rename spacexai to spacexsi
- researchers say the term lacks a rigorous definition
The order sparked mixed reactions. Elon Musk posted on X that he would rename his company SpaceXAI to SpaceXSI and said "No more AI. SI. It’s better." OpenAI chief Sam Altman continues to use the term AI in his posts. Researchers such as Melanie Mitchell note that the term lacks a rigorous definition, while Darrell West of the Brookings Institution sees the renaming as an attempt to rebrand AI amid growing public concern.
Trump explained the change to the United Nations, arguing that "Super Intelligence" is more accurate and does not sound fake. He has dismissed worries about AI, calling them a hoax, and criticized leaders who call for regulation.
