President Donald Trump has waded into the AI debate with a lexical proclamation: AI shouldn’t be called AI.
“Many people think that the words ‘Artificial Intelligence’ are inaccurate, and very ineloquent, relative to AI, or Artificial Intelligence,” he began in a post on his social media site Truth Social on Saturday, seemingly apropos of nothing.
“A far more elegant and accurate description of this new phenomena would be Superior Intelligence (SI) or, Extreme Intelligence (EI) or, Supreme Intelligence (SI).”
Today Trump used an address at the United Nations to make the term official.
