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

business-standard.com —

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 UN General Assembly this week. An email from Deputy Assistant Secretary Michael Drager, obtained by the Associated Press, instructed staff to use "SI" in all remarks, positions, and press elements, affecting US missions to UN and multilateral agencies worldwide. It remains unclear if other bureaus will follow. Trump told the UN that "artificial" makes intelligence sound fake, and US representatives used the new term at a UN Security Council meeting on Wednesday. The change may also affect the name of Trump's "AI Force," announced this weekend.
