President Donald Trump announced at the United Nations General Assembly that artificial intelligence will be renamed 'super intelligence' in all U.S. documents. Trump argued that the term 'artificial' makes AI sound 'fake' and stated that the U.S. 'totally rejects' any global governance framework for AI, calling it a 'globalist scheme.' This renaming follows a poll on his social media platform, Truth Social.
Meanwhile, China is advancing its own approach to AI governance. President Xi Jinping emphasized the importance of international rules and standards for AI in a July speech, and China has implemented an eight-part action plan covering areas such as open-source development, data access, and safety governance. China has also been promoting AI infrastructure in developing countries, a strategy reminiscent of its past efforts in global infrastructure.
The U.S. and China are taking divergent paths in shaping the future of AI, with Trump focusing on renaming and rejecting global oversight, while China is working to establish international consensus on AI standards and governance. This contrast highlights differing priorities between the two nations as they seek to influence the global AI landscape.
The debate over AI's name and governance comes as Trump prepares to meet with Xi Jinping in New York, raising questions about how the U.S. and China will collaborate or compete in the AI arena.
