Briefings
Donald Trump announced on October 8, 2026, that the White House will treat anyone using the term 'intelligence artificial' instead of 'superintelligence' as an enemy, creating a 'Superintelligence Force.' This follows his September UN General Assembly remark where he claimed the new term sounded better before signing a decree to mandate it in government services. The term 'superintelligence' is already adopted by Meta's Mark Zuckerberg group and supported by Elon Musk on X. The semantic debate stems from public concerns about AI security amid local protests against data centers.
Key points
- Donald Trump declared the White House will consider anyone using 'intelligence artificial' instead of 'superintelligence' as an enemy, creating a new 'Superintelligence Force' to enforce this terminology.
- Trump previously mentioned the terminology change in September 2026 at the UN General Assembly, claiming the new term sounded better before signing a decree to mandate it in government services.
Context
The semantic debate regarding AI terminology stems from public concerns about AI security amid local protests against data center construction. Trump aims to promote the term 'superintelligence' to convey a positive connotation, contrasting it with the more common 'intelligence artificial.' This policy shift follows his September 2026 UN General Assembly remarks where he initially favored the new term before signing a decree to implement it in government services.
Limitations
Trump's specific threat implications remain unexplained. The evidence covers only the October 8, 2026 announcement and September 2026 UN remarks; no details on enforcement mechanisms, specific penalties, or the scope of the 'Superintelligence Force' are provided.
