US President Donald Trump has threatened anyone who continues to use the term 'Artificial Intelligence' (AI), declaring that those who do not adopt his preferred term 'Superintelligence' are 'enemies,' according to a post on his Truth Social platform on Thursday. Trump announced the renaming in late September, arguing that 'Artificial Intelligence' sounds as if the technology is 'fake.' Despite his directive, numerous experts and media outlets in the US continue to use the term AI. In the tech industry, 'Superintelligence' refers to a future stage where AI surpasses human cognitive abilities in all domains, a point that even the most advanced models have not yet reached according to general consensus. The article, published by Die Welt, reports on this linguistic and political intervention by the US president.
