Trump proposes renaming AI and launches poll for new name

uol.com.br (Portuguese)

President Trump proposed renaming artificial intelligence and launched a poll for alternative names, while announcing plans for an "AI czar" and an "AI Force" without detailing their functions. Trump stated he would announce the "AI czar" soon, inviting only "high IQ people" to apply, and create a structure inspired by the Space Force from his first term. He previously expressed openness to "protection rules" but criticized negative pressure around the debate. The safety debate intensified after a researcher left Anthropic citing concerns about extreme threats, with CEO Dario Amodei proposing a plan backed by Sam Altman and Elon Musk. Critics argue existential focus may distract from immediate harms.
