Donald Trump Proposes Renaming Artificial Intelligence via Social Media Poll

President Donald Trump launched an online poll on Truth Social asking the public to rename artificial intelligence, which he described as an inaccurate and ineloquent term. He proposed three alternatives: Superior Intelligence, Extreme Intelligence, and Supreme Intelligence, arguing these are more elegant descriptions of the technological revolution.

Trump characterized the technology as the greatest economic development engine in history, claiming its impact surpasses that of oil, gold, and diamonds. He emphasized the role of the technology in driving U.S. economic growth and maintaining competition with China.

While some Republican lawmakers have called for increased regulation, Trump dismissed AI safety concerns as a hoax. He asserted that the technology does not require regulatory guardrails beyond the leadership of a strong and smart president. The discourse on the technology is expected to continue during an upcoming state dinner between Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping.
