Trump orders federal agencies to use 'super intelligence' instead of AI

President Donald Trump directed federal departments and agencies to replace the term “artificial intelligence” with “super intelligence” in official government communications. The White House announced the change after Trump hosted AI industry leaders for a lunch at the White House on Tuesday. The move comes as recent polls show many Americans are concerned about the rapid growth of AI and disapprove of Trump’s handling of the issue. Trump has argued that the United States must stay ahead of China in AI development, while critics say the rename does not address safety risks. Alongside the executive order, several tech executives appeared to sign a separate accord focused on voluntary safety commitments and internal controls for developing AI systems. The document was described as nonbinding, and Trump later said it was “morally binding.”
