Trump says he is going to ban everyone from using the phrase ‘artificial intelligence’

President Donald Trump has promised to ban everyone from using the phrase “artificial intelligence” as he continues to promote a more favorable term — “super intelligence.”“When will The Wall Street Journal start calling Artificial Intelligence (AI), a very bad and inaccurate name, SI (Super Intelligence), the name which virtually everyone else is using, or soon will be. “In short order, we will be officially BANNING the term, ‘AI/Artificial Intelligence,’ in all relevant documents, and everything else, due to its inaccuracy,” Trump wrote on Truth Social Tuesday afternoon.
