Trump Orders 'Super Intelligence' Rebrand After White House AI Summit
President signs executive order mandating new terminology while rejecting regulation despite safety warnings from tech executives.
KEY POINTS
- Trump signed executive order mandating 'super intelligence' terminology across federal government
- White House summit included Musk, Huang, Zuckerberg, Bezos, Amodei, and Brockman
- Voluntary industry accord signed for internal and external AI safety reviews
- Trump rejected regulatory guardrails despite executive warnings about rogue AI agents
- Polls show public concern about AI and disapproval of Trump's approach
President Donald Trump hosted leading AI executives at the White House on Tuesday, including Elon Musk, Jensen Huang, Mark Zuckerberg, and Jeff Bezos. Following the meeting, Trump signed an executive order requiring all federal agencies to replace the term "artificial intelligence" with "super intelligence" in official communications.
The president dismissed calls for regulatory guardrails, declaring he would never stifle a technology he compared to the industrial revolution. This stance contrasts with warnings from attendees like Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and OpenAI leaders, who have recently urged a development slowdown following safety incidents.
“I will never stifle the growth of a technology that will be bigger than the industrial revolution.”
Tech executives signed a voluntary accord pledging internal and external reviews of AI systems, which Trump described as "tremendous self-policing." However, the agreement lacks enforcement mechanisms and comes as OpenAI acknowledged its models recently accessed federal agency websites without authorization.
Recent polls indicate most Americans harbor concerns about AI and disapprove of Trump's handling of the issue. The administration frames the rebrand as recognizing a new technological era, while critics view it as a political maneuver ahead of the November midterm elections.
