Trump to sign order renaming AI as 'superintelligence'

President Trump plans to sign an executive order on Tuesday renaming artificial intelligence as “superintelligence,” saying the term “artificial” makes intelligence sound “fake.” The remarks came after a White House luncheon with top technology executives. Trump has pushed the rebrand in recent weeks, initially floating multiple names before settling on “superintelligence.” He previously told the United Nations that official U.S. documents would use the new term. The label is already used in AI, referring to systems that surpass human intelligence. The move lands amid rising safety concerns from researchers and some tech leaders, which Trump has repeatedly dismissed as he argues the U.S. must keep its AI lead over China.
