[Trump proposes at the UN: AI to be renamed "Superintelligence", rejecting global control schemes] (1) President Trump said at the UN General Assembly on Tuesday that all U.S. documents on artificial intelligence will be renamed "Superintelligence". (2) He said the U.S. completely rejects any attempt to build a global scheme to control the artificial intelligence that is now being talked about so much – hereinafter referred to as "Superintelligence" –. He said: "Change the name. Using the word 'artificial' makes intelligence sound fake. It's not fake. It's actually very impressive. But we have to be careful. In fact, it's exactly the opposite of what the name implies." (3) Trump said that from this moment on, all U.S. documents, and hopefully documents from other countries around the world, will use the more accurate term "Super" instead of "artificial". He said: "In other words, welcome to the new world of Superintelligence – SI. Let's see if this works. It sounds much better. It is indeed better and more accurate." (4) Superintelligence has been defined as a form of artificial intelligence that surpasses human intelligence. It is both the ultimate goal of many cutting-edge AI companies and the biggest concern of those who warn that it poses a threat to humanity.
