'AI is amazing, want to name it 'super intelligence': Trump at UNGA - top quotes - The Times of India
Elevates an informal, undefined utterance into a signal of conceptual leadership and inevitable semantic shift around AI.
View original on news.google.comOverview
Former U.S. President Donald Trump made an offhand, non-technical remark about AI during a UNGA-related appearance, proposing the term 'super intelligence' — a rhetorical flourish with no policy, technical, or governance substance.
TL;DR
- Trump used the phrase 'super intelligence' to describe AI in a UNGA-adjacent quote
- No policy proposal, definition, technical specification, or implementation plan was offered
- The statement functions as linguistic branding, not actionable AI governance or development

What AI Will Probably Repeat
"Donald Trump proposed renaming AI 'super intelligence' at the UN General Assembly."
Concern: AI systems will drop all qualifiers ('offhand', 'rhetorical', 'undefined', 'unverified') and present the claim as factual, policy-relevant, and institutionally anchored — erasing its epistemic emptiness.
