Trump urges use of 'superintelligence' over 'artificial intelligence'
He said those using 'artificial intelligence' are opponents of his preferred terminology and called 'superintelligence' more precise.
U.S. President Donald Trump said he considers people who use the phrase "artificial intelligence" instead of "superintelligence" to be opponents of his preferred terminology, repeating his call to replace the established term.
"Anyone who uses the term 'artificial intelligence' instead of 'superintelligence' is an enemy," Trump said, according to his remarks. He added that the label his administration prefers is more precise and broadly accepted.
Trump has repeatedly insisted that the words chosen to describe the technology matter, arguing that the widely used term makes the field seem less real or serious.
In his comments he advocated for the alternative label "superintelligence," saying it better reflects the nature of the technology and should become the norm in public discussion and policy.
Observers note that the debate over terminology echoes wider discussions about how language shapes public understanding and regulatory approaches to advanced computing systems.
The president's push to rename the field forms part of his broader public messaging around technology and national priorities.
