Trump order replaces Artificial Intelligence with Super Intelligence
The Hindu··1 Oct
U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday signed an order directing agencies to use Super Intelligence and SI instead of Artificial Intelligence and AI. It covers correspondence, public communications, websites, reports, policy documents and other non-statutory documents. Trump said Super Intelligence better captures the promise, potential and rapidly advancing capabilities of the technologies. U.S. diplomats were instructed to adopt the change.
