Trump Proposes AI Force, Seeks to Rebrand Artificial Intelligence.
President Trump posted a Truth Social poll Saturday offering three alternatives to the term 'artificial intelligence.' He called the existing phrase inaccurate and 'very ineloquent.'
- 3 proposed replacements: Superior Intelligence (SI), Extreme Intelligence (EI), Supreme Intelligence (SI).
- The term 'artificial intelligence' dates to 1955, coined by Stanford professor John McCarthy.
- Trump regularly uses AI-generated content in his own Truth Social posts.
- No mechanism exists to apply a presidential preference across the AI industry.
Why it matters: The poll arrives as AI safety concerns are rising publicly. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei warned last week that rogue AI agents could take over the internet within 12 months without more oversight.
- Elon Musk and Sam Altman both backed Amodei's call to slow development.
- Trump has called AI doomsday fears a 'hoax' and prioritized beating China in the sector.

What’s next: Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon resigned publicly, warning the technology could 'kill us all' within 10 years.
- Would Trump pursue any formal or regulatory action to change how AI is labeled or governed?
- How, if at all, would a preferred poll result influence industry or government usage of the term?
