President Donald Trump has announced his intention to officially ban the term "artificial intelligence" (AI) from all relevant government documents and other contexts, advocating for his preferred term "super intelligence." This decision comes after he emphasized the "super intelligence" terminology during a recent meeting with tech executives, including Elon Musk. Despite the term "AI" being widely adopted for decades, and his own White House having previously used it in official plans, Trump is pushing for this linguistic change.
