Trump Proposes Rebranding AI and Creating an "AI Force"

President Donald Trump has responded to the debate around AI safety by declaring such concerns a "hoax" generated by political opponents. Writing on Truth Social, Trump argued that the term "Artificial Intelligence" is inaccurate and ineloquent, launching a poll for followers to vote on a new name: Superior Intelligence, Extreme Intelligence, or Supreme Intelligence. Trump further claimed that attempts to regulate or "decimate" AI are part of a broader pattern of political hoaxes. He defended the industry, stating he would not allow attacks on data centers to succeed, highlighting their economic value to local communities. While he previously mentioned an openness to "guardrails," his latest comments emphasize a commitment to "cherish" and help the AI industry, including the creation of a dedicated "AI Force" to bolster the sector's growth and security.
