This Was Trump’s Big Week to Take Action on AI and All He Did Was Rename It

After weeks of national discourse about the threat of AI, President Donald Trump had a unique opportunity to influence AI safety globally in recent days. Trump hosted Chinese leader Xi Jinping and tech oligarchs who are building AI, like Elon Musk and Sam Altman, for a state dinner on Thursday. But rather than sitting them all down and hashing out some important AI safeguards, Trump decided the only thing necessary for AI safety was a president with a high IQ.

Trump recently picked up an obsessive interest in renaming artificial intelligence recently, putting the question of what to call AI to his followers on social media. After several polls and revisions, the winner was Super Intelligence (SI), and the president has told people that’s what they should call it.

Sebastian Gorka, one of Trump’s neo-fascist advisors, even scolded Newsmax anchor Ed Henry this week after he used the phrase “AI race” to describe the geopolitical battle with China. Gorka said, “Sorry. It’s SI. As of this week, it’s Super Intelligence.” Henry thanks Gorka for the reminder that he should follow the language dictated by Dear Leader Trump.

SEBASTIAN GORKA: No no no no no no no. Sorry. It’s SI. As of this week, it’s Super Intelligence.

It all seems like a stupid distraction and it is. But Trump is dead serious. He gets a certain thrill from being able to dictate language, as we’ve seen with his renaming of Lake Ontario to Lake America, the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, and the Department of Defense to the Department of War.
