Title: Trump Denounces Attempts to Control AI, Wants It Renamed 'Super
Intelligence' in US Documents

Link: https://politics.slashdot.org/story/26/09/22/...

U.S. President Trump addressed the United Nations on Tuesday. And a half hour
in, after decrying immigration, Trump pivoted to add that "The United States
also totally rejects any attempt to construct a globalist scheme to control
for the artificial intelligence being spoken of so much now." But then he
added "hereinafter officially called super intelligence, changing the name,
in that the use of the word artificial makes intelligence fake. It makes it
sound fake, and it is not fake. It's actually... amazing. But we have to be
careful - in fact, it is exactly the opposite of what it purports. From this
point forward, all of United States documents and hopefully the world's will
be changed to use the much more accurate term super as opposed to artificial.
So it's super intelligence." TRUMP: In other words, welcome to the new world
of super intelligence - SI. SI. Let's see if that goes. It sounds much
better. It is much better, and it's much more accurate. Let's see if I have
any power. Maybe I do and maybe I don't. We're going to find out pretty soon.
Super intelligence. Every major new technology brings challenges, and super
intelligence is no exception. Yet the very same people who said we'll all be
dead in 12 years because of global warming, a name since reborn to climate
change because the planet was cooling not warming, and nobody was dead -
these are the same people that are now saying that AI is going to kill us
all. That robots are going to attack us, and that everything is going to be a
total disaster - same group of people. This is the group that came up with
the Russia Russia Russia hoax, the Ukraine Ukraine Ukraine hoax. Climate
change, open borders. Whoever wins AI - you have to remember this - and now I
say, whoever wins SI, whoever wins super intelligent [sic] - wins. That's the
group that wins. And we're leading now over China by a lot, and everyone
else, and we're going to keep it that way. We're going to keep it very - very
straight and very strong. I'm not going to stifle growth of something that
will be bigger than the Industrial Revolution. Many say, bigger than the
Industrial Revolution or the internet itself. And we will be very careful,
and that's why we have a Department of Justice that we've already used it,
having to do with this very subject, and used it very powerfully. Everything
worked out very well and very quickly. And other law enforcement bodies that
will rein things in if we have to do that. But we will only encourage super
intelligence. We're gonna encourage it, not rein it in. We're gonna watch it
closely, through the Department of Justice. The United States leads the world
in Super Intelligence, and will continue to do so, safely and responsibly.
