By Zoila Palma: The U.S. State Department has reportedly told diplomats working in its Bureau of International Organization Affairs to replace references to “artificial intelligence” with “super intelligence” in official communications, following President Donald Trump’s remarks at the United Nations General Assembly this week.
In an email sent Tuesday, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Michael Drager told employees to make the change in official documents and diplomatic positions.
“Following the president’s remarks at the GA today, please change all references of ‘Artificial Intelligence’ to ‘Super Intelligence’ in our documents and positions. We will be using ‘SI’ in all remarks, positions and press elements moving forward,” Drager wrote.
Trump announced the terminology change during his U.N. address, arguing that the word “artificial” makes the technology sound less authentic. “The use of the word artificial makes intelligence fake, it makes it sound fake and it is not fake. It’s actually amazing,” Trump said.
He added that U.S. government documents would use “super intelligence” instead, though it remains unclear whether other government agencies have received similar instructions.
The terminology was already being used by U.S. representatives at a U.N. Security Council meeting on Wednesday focused on AI, where technology executives called for international safeguards as the technology rapidly develops.
