US President Donald Trump announces at the United Nations General Assembly that the United States will replace the term “artificial intelligence” with “super intelligence” in official documents. He argues the change is more accurate because “artificial” makes the technology sound fake, while he says it is “actually amazing.”
Several outlets report that Trump also signals support for continued development rather than restricting the technology. Some coverage emphasizes his framing of AI as a competitive, “winner-take-all” race in which U.S. leadership matters, particularly against China. Other reporting notes he rejects the idea of international control or oversight, describing it as a “globalist scheme” to manage the technology.
News organizations differ mainly in emphasis: some focus on branding and his stated reasoning for the terminology shift, while others highlight his political posture toward regulation and international governance. Coverage also references his response to AI safety concerns, with Trump dismissing warnings and comparing them to past disputes about climate change.
