Trump bestowed the prestigious U.S. National Medal of Science upon six distinguished individuals: Musk, Huang Renxun, Su Zifeng, Brin, Nadella, and Dell. During the ceremony, Trump lauded Musk as the modern-day Edison, while also underscoring the remarkable contributions of the other five awardees in their respective domains. The award ceremony was themed around superintelligence, with related elements seamlessly integrated into the award citations. The U.S. government has officially rebranded artificial intelligence as superintelligence, with the intention of elevating it to a national engineering priority. Despite the involvement of companies like OpenAI in related projects and their provision of funding, their leaders were not included among the recipients. This accolade marks a significant shift in the United States' highest scientific honors, now recognizing practitioners in the field of superintelligence.
