President Trump signed an executive order this week to ban the term “Artificial Intelligence” in official government use. He wants everyone to call it super intelligence instead. The President told reporters the old name was wrong because the technology “is not artificial.” This change comes as he sits down with tech leaders to sign a new safety pact. The announcement happened during a lunch at the White House. Elon Musk, Jensen Huang, and Mark Zuckerberg were all there to witness the shift.
Trump explained his reasoning to the crowd in plain terms. According to him, a paper will be signed today around 5 o’clock to rename artificial intelligence since it is not artificial. He insisted the new name reflects the true power of the machines. The goal is to keep the United States ahead of other nations in this race. He claimed President Xi “loves it” because the new term removes the word “artificial” entirely.
Alongside the name change, top tech bosses signed a voluntary set of safety rules. They called it the “White House Accord on Super Intelligence.” Trump described these new rules as “morally binding” for the companies involved. The leaders agreed that their work must make the world a safer place. “The one thing that we all have in common is we love our country, and we love the world, and we want to make sure it’s a safe place,” Trump said. He added that the new name and rules will ensure safety for everyone.
The President emphasized that the U.S. holds a strong position in the global market. “We have a very big lead, and we’re going to keep our lead,” he told the group. He argued that stopping this growth would hurt the nation. “I’m not going to stifle growth of something that will be bigger than the industrial revolution,” he noted. The order also directs federal agencies to update their public services with America.gov. This move aims to streamline how the government uses these new tools.
While the White House celebrates the new name, public opinion tells a different story. A recent CNN poll indicates that almost nine out of 10 Americans feel more concerned than excited regarding AI. The survey suggests people fear the technology could surpass human intelligence. About seven in 10 Americans say the federal government isn’t doing enough to regulate AI. These numbers appear in reports covered by the Daily Wire. The disconnect between the administration’s optimism and public worry is stark. The President insists the renaming will make the technology “a much safer place.”
Despite the poll numbers, the administration moves forward with its plan. The new term “super intelligence” or SI is now the official name in the United States. “This kind of innovation in government is just a preview of what is possible with superintelligence or SI,” Trump said. The industry leaders seem to back the move, even as the public remains skeptical. The order mandates that all federal agencies adopt the new terminology immediately. No one in the room offered a date for when public concern might change. The answer to that question remains unclear.
Trump signed the order to secure American leadership against China. He believes the new name helps clarify the nature of the technology. “So we’re going to name it SI, super intelligence, for we don’t want to hear artificial because it’s not artificial,” he said. The executive order also includes layers of controls and audits to ensure safety. The President insists the U.S. will keep its lead in this critical field. The final vote on how Americans feel about this shift is not a poll, but their daily use of the tech. The question of whether the name change will ease fears remains open.
