Trump's Push to Rename Artificial Intelligence 'Super Intelligence' Faces Hurdles

United States President Donald Trump has launched an official campaign to rename artificial intelligence technology to super intelligence or SI, stating that those who fail to use the term will be targeted.

Rebranding Campaign

US President Donald Trump argued that the term artificial intelligence makes the technology sound fake because of the word artificial, demanding that the name be changed to super intelligence or SI.

First brought up at the UN General Assembly, this name change was subsequently put into effect with an official decree making it mandatory in government communications.

White House and Social Media

The White House removed references to artificial intelligence on its official website and replaced them with SI, though the website's current domain remains ai.gov.

Making a harsh statement on the social media platform Truth Social, Trump stated that anyone who does not use this term will be considered an enemy of the state.

Reflections in the Tech World

This mandated rebranding move continues to receive varied reactions from the tech industry and sector stakeholders.

Elon Musk announced on the platform X that he would comply with this guidance and agreed to change the name SpaceXAI to SpaceXSI.
