"Much bigger than the Internet": Trump renames AI to Super Intelligence
President Trump announces the official rebranding of Artificial Intelligence to Super Intelligence during a high-level White House meeting with tech titans.
In a move that signals a massive shift in how the world perceives advanced computing, US President Donald Trump has announced that the United States government will officially reclassify Artificial Intelligence (AI) as "Super Intelligence" (SI). Speaking at a high-level luncheon hosted at the White House, the President declared that the term "Artificial Intelligence" no longer accurately describes the magnitude of the technology.
The announcement came during a landmark gathering of the world's most powerful technology executives, including Elon Musk (SpaceX and Tesla), Mark Zuckerberg (Meta), Sundar Pichai (Google), and Jensen Huang (NVIDIA). Trump confirmed that an executive document would be signed to formalize this rebranding, stating, "We're going to be signing a document today... renaming Artificial Intelligence because it's not artificial. We all agree on that. We're going to be renaming it Super Intelligence."
A Shift Beyond the Internet Era
Trump did not mince words regarding the impact of this technology on the global stage. Comparing its scale to previous technological revolutions, he remarked that Super Intelligence is "the biggest thing there is — maybe the biggest thing there's ever been," even suggesting it is "much bigger than the Internet."
The President framed the transition as a period of "unbelievable growth" for the United States, emphasizing that the nation is positioning itself at the forefront of this evolution by hosting the leaders of the industry under one roof.
The White House Accord: Safety and Responsibility
The meeting was not merely about a name change; it served as a platform for discussing the White House Accord, a framework designed to ensure the development of Super Intelligence is both safe and responsible. Industry leaders expressed their commitment to building public confidence in these powerful systems.
- Mark Zuckerberg (Meta CEO): Stated the goal is to provide Americans and customers with the confidence that the technology operates exactly as intended.
- Dario Amodei (Anthropic CEO): Emphasized the necessity of coordinated development, noting that working alongside the President is key to "winning safely."
- Jay Clayton (Director of National Intelligence): Highlighted the critical link between technology and defense, noting that maintaining American leadership in this field is a vital national security priority.
Community Impact and Data Center Infrastructure
Beyond the high-level nomenclature, the President addressed the practicalities of the Super Intelligence era, specifically the massive infrastructure required to power it. Trump noted that tech giants must play an active role in supporting the local communities that host their massive data centers.
The President suggested that these companies would enter into generous partnerships with local towns, providing support for schools and teachers, as well as financial assistance to ensure that the arrival of data centers brings prosperity to the surrounding areas.
Addressing concerns regarding the potential misuse of these complex models, Trump maintained an optimistic yet vigilant stance, stating that while he believes the technology will be used for good, the government will be prepared to intervene if it is used for harm.
