On October 9, US President Trump declared that individuals opting to use the term 'artificial intelligence' rather than 'superintelligence' are to be considered 'enemies.' Previously, Trump had been a proponent of substituting 'artificial intelligence' (AI) with 'superintelligence' (SI), going as far as to sign an executive order in September mandating federal agencies to align their terminology accordingly. Nevertheless, certain official White House platforms, encompassing its AI-centric website and documents from the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), persist in employing the term 'artificial intelligence.' Axios has reported that Trump's move to adjust terminology has ignited controversy. This stems from the fact that 'superintelligence' conventionally denotes a hypothetical variant of AI that transcends human intellect, whereas the industry's prevailing concept of AI encompasses a wider spectrum.
