Trump’s Crazy AI Rebrand Was a Loyalty Test for Tech Execs—and It Worked

The cancellation of the term 'artificial intelligence'—which was coined by scientists at Dartmouth College seventy years ago and appears in millions of academic results—has sparked a new debate in the tech world.

History and Popularization of the Term

During a period that left its seventieth anniversary behind last summer, scientists gathered at Dartmouth College discussed the idea that machines could possess human-like thought processes.

The name artificial intelligence, proposed by John McCarthy for this new field, was adopted over time and became a universal term that led to millions of results in academic searches.

Quiet Compliance of Tech Leaders

Tech billionaires and executives who talked about this technology and its potential for years have quietly gone along with the cancellation of the term without raising any objections.

This change was evaluated as a development highlighting the attitudes of figures in the sector toward leadership and potential loyalty tests.
