AI leaders differ on Trump’s push to use “super intelligence”
Artificial intelligence usually refers to computer systems such as chatbots, image generators and coding tools.
Superintelligence is a different idea: a hypothetical intelligence greater than human intelligence.
US President Donald Trump has pushed people to call artificial intelligence “Super Intelligence” and has called those who still use “artificial intelligence” “THE ENEMY.”
At a September 29 White House meeting, several AI leaders signed a document that Trump later said meant they had agreed to use the phrase.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman did not attend and, according to the available research, has not publicly used the term.
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei attended and signed the document, but his later position is unclear.
