Trump Warns Against Calling Technology Artificial Intelligence

President Donald Trump wants people to call artificial intelligence “super intelligence.”

He said people who keep using the old term are “the enemy.”

Trump says “artificial” makes the technology sound fake.

He also directed government agencies to use the new term.

Some surveys show many voters are worried about AI and data centers.

In one poll, most respondents opposed an AI data center near their community.

Many also said safety should come before making the United States a leader in AI.

Another poll found more voters viewed AI unfavorably than favorably.
