Trump Proposes Renaming Artificial Intelligence and Creating an AI Force
· Technology · TechCrunch, Engadget, BBC News
President Donald Trump has proposed renaming artificial intelligence to either Superior Intelligence, Extreme Intelligence, or Supreme Intelligence, arguing the current terminology is inaccurate and ineloquent. Writing on Truth Social, Trump launched an online poll for followers to vote on the new name while dismissing widespread safety concerns as a Democratic hoax. The president announced plans to establish an AI Force modeled after the Space Force and said he will soon appoint an AI czar requiring high IQ. The exact duties of the proposed AI Force and czar remain unspecified. The safety debate recently intensified following the departure of former AI and crypto czar David Sacks, who moved to co-chair the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology.
