Trump opens poll to rename AI, suggests 'Supreme Intelligence'
President Trump opened a poll on Saturday, Sept. 19, on X and Truth Social to rename "Artificial Intelligence," proposing alternatives like "Superior," "Extreme," or "Supreme Intelligence," citing the current term as inaccurate. The poll, launched after Trump called AI fears a "hoax," currently shows "Superior Intelligence" leading with about 39 percent of the vote on X. He stated he won't hinder AI industry growth, aligning with his administration's supportive stance. The proposal follows industry calls to slow AI development from OpenAI and Anthropic CEOs, a California executive order on AI safety, and a report of a U.S. military analyst's false AI-generated report that nearly triggered conflict with China.
