Trump Warns White House Will Treat Those Rejecting ‘Superintelligence’ Term as Enemies

The US president is pushing to replace the term ‘artificial intelligence’ with ‘superintelligence’ as his administration promotes the technology’s economic and national security benefits.
US President Donald Trump has warned that the White House will consider people “enemies” if they refuse to use the term “superintelligence” instead of “artificial intelligence” (AI).
In a post on his social media platform Truth Social on Thursday, Trump said the White House would view those who reject what he described as a widely recognised and more accurate new term for the technology as enemies.
A week earlier, Trump signed an executive order to rename artificial intelligence as “superintelligence”, in a move his administration says is intended to present the technology’s capabilities in a more positive light.
The White House website has also replaced references to AI with “SI”, although its web address remains ai.gov.
The renaming initiative comes amid growing concerns among lawmakers and experts over the safety and regulation of rapidly advancing AI technology. Reports of AI agents gaining unauthorised access to government websites in various countries have intensified calls for stronger safeguards.
Trump, however, has downplayed calls for tighter restrictions on AI development, instead highlighting the technology’s potential benefits for economic growth and national security.
Technology entrepreneur Elon Musk has also announced plans to rename his AI company. In line with Trump’s initiative, Musk said his company, SpaceXAI, would be renamed SpaceXSI.
This is not the first time Trump has sought to change established names. He has previously pushed to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the “Gulf of America” and Lake Ontario as “Lake America”.
His administration has also restricted Associated Press journalists from accessing certain White House events after the news organisation declined to adopt his preferred terminology for the Gulf of Mexico.
The latest proposal reflects the administration’s broader effort to promote its preferred terminology for emerging technologies and geographical features, even as debates continue over AI safety, governance and the role of government regulation.
