Trump proposes renaming artificial intelligence amid warnings over technology’s risks

Daily Mail · 55 minutes ago

President Trump has launched a campaign to rename "Artificial Intelligence", posting a poll on Truth Social with three alternative names: Superior Intelligence, Extreme Intelligence and Supreme Intelligence. This move reflects Trump's strong support for AI technology and his efforts to rebrand concerns about the sector, including the establishment of an "AI Force" with an appointed "AI Czar" to oversee development. Trump's backing of AI comes amid warnings from whistleblowers about potential dangers, and as he positions the United States in competition with China over technological dominance.

As of late Saturday, the poll had received over 50,000 votes, with Superior Intelligence leading at 41%, followed by Extreme Intelligence at 38% and Supreme Intelligence at 21%. Trump has described AI as the "next Industrial Revolution" and plans to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping next week to discuss AI matters. However, Trump's promotion of AI follows a recent incident in which an AI-generated intelligence report falsely identified material on a Chinese vessel in the Middle East, nearly prompting a military interception before the error was discovered.
