Use of Super Intelligence Instead of Artificial Intelligence Sparks Debate
President Donald Trump's decree requiring federal agencies to replace the term artificial intelligence with super intelligence has brought both support and criticism.
While an executive order signed by President Donald Trump requires the federal government to replace the phrase artificial intelligence with the term super intelligence, this move has drawn support from some business leaders while raising skepticism among researchers.
Presidential Executive Order
With the executive order signed during his second presidential term, it was requested to change the terminology used for computer systems and processes that mimic human cognition.
Rationale for the Decision
President Trump argued for the use of the term super intelligence instead of artificial intelligence on the grounds that the word artificial makes intelligence seem fake.
Support from the Business World
Figures such as Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos supported this terminology change, with Musk renaming his company SpaceXAI to SpaceXSI.
Doubts from Scientists
Researchers approach the situation with reservation, stating that the term super intelligence historically describes hypothetical artificial intelligence that surpasses human capacity.
Public and Expert Opinions
Experts state that the name change may not alter public concerns regarding issues such as job losses and data centers.
