State Department orders diplomats to replace 'artificial intelligence' with 'super intelligence'

The State Department has ordered diplomats in its international organizations bureau to replace the term "artificial intelligence" with "super intelligence" in all communications, following President Donald Trump's rebranding announcement at the U.N. General Assembly. An email from Deputy Assistant Secretary Michael Drager, obtained by the AP, instructed staff to use "SI" in all remarks, positions, and press elements. The order applies to U.S. missions at U.N. and multilateral agencies, though it is unclear if other bureaus will follow. Trump said "artificial" makes the technology sound "fake," and U.S. representatives used the new term at a U.N. Security Council meeting on Wednesday. The change may also affect the name of Trump's "AI Force" initiative.
