Trump Announces US Will Rename Artificial Intelligence to ‘Super Intelligence’ at UN

WHY IT MATTERS

The renaming signals a strategic rebranding that could affect international policy discussions, regulatory frameworks, and public perception of AI’s capabilities and risks.

What happened

In a speech at the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday, former President Donald Trump declared that the United States is officially renaming artificial intelligence as “super intelligence.” Trump argued that the term “artificial” makes the technology seem inauthentic and criticized attempts to regulate or control AI. He also used the platform to denounce Iran, “globalists,” and transgender people, though those remarks were not the focus of the renaming announcement. The statement marks the first public declaration by a U. S. leader to alter the terminology used for AI, signaling a shift in how the administration frames the technology’s role in policy and public discourse. The speech was delivered in front of an international audience, underscoring the U. S. intent to influence global AI narratives.
