THE CRUNCH
Donald Trump has proposed renaming artificial intelligence to 'super intelligence' during a speech at the UN General Assembly. He argued that the word 'artificial' makes the technology sound fake, though he did not outline a formal policy or implementation plan.
The proposal was made during a speech at the UN General Assembly, where Trump also discussed other topics including Iran and global governance. He stated that the US would 'officially' adopt the new term, though no official government guidance or technical definition was provided.
The move is a linguistic change rather than a technical one. By dropping the word 'artificial,' the proposed label emphasises the capability of the systems rather than their origin or nature.
