Trump rebrands AI as 'super intelligence' at UN, calls risk warnings a hoax

President Donald Trump announced at the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday that the US government will officially replace the term "artificial intelligence" with "super intelligence" in all official documents, while dismissing AI risk concerns as a "hoax." Trump argued the new terminology is more accurate and said he will not stifle growth of technology he claims will be bigger than the industrial revolution. He also referenced recent social media polls where he proposed alternative names, and announced plans for an "AI Force" led by an "AI Czar." The announcement follows Trump's weekend social media activity, where he questioned the term "artificial intelligence" and held polls on alternatives. He also proposed creating an "AI Force" modeled on the Space Force, though no timeline or federal department was specified.
