Briefings
In a September 2026 speech at the UN General Assembly, President Donald Trump rejected the term 'artificial intelligence' in favor of 'super intelligence,' arguing that 'artificial' implies falsity while 'super' denotes accuracy. He announced a policy shift to use 'super intelligence' in all US and global documents, though he admitted uncertainty about his own power to enforce this change. The speech was delivered via a one-minute video clip posted on Bluesky, featuring Paul Krugman's satirical comparison to a third-world dictator in a 1971 film.
