Trump wants to rebrand artificial intelligence. It was almost called these 3 names

President Donald Trump said the term "artificial intelligence" made it sound "fake." Anna Moneymaker/Getty Images President Donald Trump announced plans to rebrand artificial intelligence. He proposed calling it "superintelligence," so it wouldn't sound "fake." Artificial intelligence was originally associated with terms such as "automata studies" and "complex information processing." For President Donald Trump , the name "AI" is DOA. Trump said that the United States would change the name of artificial intelligence at the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday. It will now be called "superintelligence," Trump said. "The use of the word 'artificial' makes intelligence fake," Trump said. "It is not fake. It's actually amazing." The name "artificial intelligence" isn't a legally designated term that can be changed by the president. Rather, it's a commonly agreed-upon term that companies and consumers alike use to describe the product.
