Trump orders US Gov’t to call AI ‘Super intelligence’

President Donald Trump makes an announcement at the White House

Via The Verge:

The US executive branch is no longer acknowledging the existence of “artificial intelligence.” Going forward, official policy websites, policy documents, and press releases will refer only to “Super Intelligence,” thanks to a new executive order signed by President Donald Trump.

“The word super is the best word of all, and it’s the simplest,” Trump said at an event announcing the launch of America.gov earlier on Tuesday, and said Chinese President Xi Jinping, who visited the White House last week, “loves it” too. “We don’t want to hear artificial. Because it’s not artificial. It’s very powerful, it’s very brilliant. It’s going to mostly be put to good use and we’ll stop the bad use.” Artificial, he added, “is like the news. Fake news.”
