Donald Trump is on a renaming rampage at the moment.
Not content with the Trump-Kennedy Center furore or Lake America he is now moving on to the world’s greatest threat – Artificial Intelligence.
The US President took time in his UN Speech in New York to try and assuage the fears of doomsayers who fear it will be the death of us all.
He announced he is officially changing the name of Artificial Intelligence to ‘Super Intelligence’ and says all US government documents will now be changed to refer to ‘SI’ not ‘AI’.
He said: ‘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.
‘We’re going to encourage it, not rein it in.’
He added: ‘The use of the word artificial makes intelligence fake, it makes it sound fake and it is not fake. It’s actually amazing.’
The president said that from this ‘point forward,’ government documents ‘will be changed to use the much more accurate term super as opposed to artificial. So it’s super intelligence.’
It’s not clear yet if there was an official order making the change, but it would likely mean adjusting the name of the ‘AI Force’ that Trump announced this weekend to the ‘SI Force.’
Trump has claimed fears about AI are being ‘perpetuated by the Radical Left’ after lead researchers issued sobering warnings.
Anthropic safety researcher Evan Hubinger warned he believed there was a greater than 10% chance that artificial intelligence could wipe out humanity within 10 years.
It came after his former colleague, Jacob Coxon, quit the company, claiming it wasn’t ‘acting responsibly’ to stop the threat of human extinction he believes AI poses.
Meanwhile Andy Burnham told Apple’s Tim Cook that AI would be a ‘new industrial revolution’.
The Prime Minister said in a speech to business leaders: ‘AI will be the primary focus of the UK presidency.
‘We want to pick up the initiatives that are beginning to emerge, develop, and bring them into a single set of global principles and standards that are very much about unlocking the full potential whilst guarding against the risks.’
Setting out his plans to boost the UK economy, Mr Burnham said: ‘We’ve been in a slow to medium position in terms of growth in the last decade.
‘We need to become much more intentional about breaking out of it, being clear about where we see Britain’s industrial strengths going forward. I’m talking about re-industrialisation, and I think we need to think about it in those terms.’
Back inside the chamber in a wide-ranging, for Trump standards, speech, the US President roasted the leaders of Iran who were sat in front of him.
‘Will a deal be made with Iran that lets them rebuild and create a far greater country than it ever was before?’ Trump asked.
‘Or do I annihilate the Islamic Republic and do it quickly, never giving them a chance to kill and destroy people and countries again?’
The president continued: ‘Do I drive them into hell?’
Trump said he believes Tehran will ‘make a deal right after the election’ in November.
He also pledged in his speech at the United Nations’ General Assembly that Russia’s war in Ukraine would soon end.
‘We’re working very closely with the leaders of Russia and Ukraine, and we will get that one done,’ Trump said. ‘It’s going to happen, I think, more quickly than people understand.’
The war began in early 2022 with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Trump has repeatedly suggested peace was at hand since returning to the White House in 2025, only for the conflict to continue.
