US Government to Replace 'Artificial Intelligence' with 'Super Intelligence' in Documents
US President Donald Trump wants to ban the term 'artificial intelligence' in government documents, replacing it with 'super intelligence' instead.
The change is intended to present the technology in a more favorable light, according to Trump. He argues that ‘artificial intelligence’ is a bad and inaccurate name for the technology. The term ‘superintelligence’ generally refers to a more advanced concept: intelligence that could exceed human capabilities across many areas.
The administration has not yet provided details on the proposed restrictions, their scope, or how it would be enforced. If implemented, the change could affect terminology in official documents and communications, but it would not automatically change how researchers, businesses or the public describe the technology.
The proposal is primarily a language change rather than a new technical policy, and its impact will depend on further details from the administration.
