Trump and Xi Agree to Call AI 'Super Intelligence'

gizmodo.com —

President Donald Trump secured an agreement from Chinese President Xi Jinping to officially use the term "super intelligence" instead of "artificial intelligence" to describe emerging technologies, according to a White House fact sheet released after Xi's state visit. The fact sheet, titled "DELIVERING FOR AMERICANS," details diplomatic accomplishments including cooperation on drugs, oil supply, and giant pandas, while a security section notes the two leaders agreed on the terminology change. U.S. and Chinese representatives will meet in November to discuss "risks and benefits related to SI," and a new communications channel will address safety-related "SI incidents." The terminology shift follows Trump's recent rebranding efforts, with administration officials like Counterterrorism Director Sebastian Gorka enforcing the new term in media appearances. The Associated Press reported the meeting produced no major breakthroughs, though analysts said expanded communication could help prevent disputes from escalating.
