Trump Renames AI 'Super Intelligence' but Takes No Action on Safety

President Donald Trump, during a week focused on artificial intelligence, took no concrete action on AI safety, instead renaming the technology "Super Intelligence" (SI) and asserting that a high-IQ president is the only necessary guardrail. Trump hosted Chinese leader Xi Jinping and tech executives like Elon Musk and Sam Altman for a state dinner, but no specific AI safeguards were announced. Trump has pushed the SI name on social media, and advisor Sebastian Gorka corrected a Newsmax anchor for using "AI race," insisting on the new term. Xi broadly stated both nations must manage AI under human control. The White House plans an AI-focused "golden age" event next Tuesday, launching a website called America.gov. Trump has denied rumors that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent will be the new AI czar, following David Sacks' departure due to time limits for special government employees.
