Trump Gives AI New Name at UN

US President Donald Trump has announced that the United States will begin referring to artificial intelligence (AI) as “super intelligence” in government documents.

Trump made the announcement on Tuesday, September 22, 2026, while addressing world leaders at the 81st United Nations General Assembly in New York.

The US president said the new term better reflects the capabilities and potential of the rapidly developing technology. He also rejected calls for international bodies to impose centralised controls or broad regulations on AI.

Trump argued that excessive regulation could slow technological innovation, while stressing that the United States would continue to monitor the sector and intervene when necessary.

According to Reuters, Trump said the US Department of Justice and other law-enforcement agencies could take action against AI companies if there were legal or other concerns.

His comments came amid growing international debate over how AI should be governed, particularly as governments consider its implications for economic growth, national security, misinformation and other areas.

Trump also described AI as a technology with the potential to have an impact greater than previous major technological transformations, while maintaining that the US should remain at the forefront of its development.

The announcement has drawn attention because “super intelligence” is also used in technology discussions to describe highly advanced AI systems capable of performing tasks at or beyond human levels. Trump’s use of the term in official US documents, however, represents a proposed change in government terminology rather than a scientific renaming of artificial intelligence globally.
