Trump opens poll to rename AI, with 'Superior Intelligence' leading

President Trump opened a poll on X and Truth Social on Saturday, Sept. 19, asking the public to rename "Artificial Intelligence," with options including Superior, Extreme, and Supreme Intelligence. As of this writing, "Superior Intelligence" led the X poll with about 39 percent of the vote. Trump called AI fears a "hoax" this week and said he won't hinder industry growth, aligning with his administration's adoption of the technology. The poll follows reports that Trump may meet AI executives next week, though the White House said no meeting is scheduled. Meanwhile, California Gov. Gavin Newsom issued an executive order Friday to strengthen state AI safety laws, and a U.S. military analyst reportedly generated a false AI report that "almost started a war" with China.
