President Donald Trump says the United States will change how artificial intelligence is referred to in official materials, telling the UN General Assembly that the term will be “super intelligence.” He frames the change as a wording shift, saying “super” is a more accurate description than “artificial.” The comments are reported as part of his address at the UN.
Multiple outlets describe the move as affecting U.S. documents broadly, with one report characterizing it as an instruction for all U.S. agencies to use the new term. Another report emphasizes that Trump rejects attempts to create a global framework to control discussions about AI, while still tying the renaming to the broader discourse.
While all sources agree on Trump’s announcement and the proposed terminology change, they differ in emphasis: one focuses on the intent to update U.S. paperwork, another highlights the reaction to global governance efforts, and a defense-oriented outlet frames it as an order across federal agencies. No source provides details on enforcement, timelines, or specific replacements in legislation beyond the stated use of the new phrase.
