Trump’s attempt to rename AI is looking awfully artificial

TL;DR

  • Donald Trump is promoting artificial intelligence by rebranding it as "super intelligence" and discouraging the use of "artificial."
  • He believes AI safety risks are exaggerated and US companies need to speed up development.
  • Trump declared in a UN speech that "the use of the word artificial makes intelligence fake" and promised to rename the technology.
  • The US Center for AI Standards and Innovation (CAISI) has been renamed the Center for Advancing Innovation and Standards for Super Intelligence (CAISSI).
  • Trump's efforts to change public perception of AI through wordplay may face difficulty.
