Donald Trump Posts About Renaming Artificial Intelligence, Suggests More Elegant Terms Like Superintelligence, Extreme Intelligence, or Supreme Intelligence
U.S. President Donald Trump posted that the term "artificial intelligence" is inaccurate and not elegant enough, suggesting that more elegant terms should be superintelligence, extreme intelligence, or supreme intelligence, and initiated a vote on this "revolution." The options are abbreviated as SI, EI, and SI, with super and supreme sharing the same abbreviation.
The vote appeared on Truth Social and reposting platforms, coinciding with the same-day announcement of forming an artificial intelligence task force, appointing a czar, and labeling security slowdowns as scams. He did not specify whether the renaming would enter legal, standard, or government procurement texts. As of the deadline, Truth Social showed tens of thousands of votes with one day remaining; reports indicated that "superintelligence" briefly led by about 39% on another platform. The abbreviation overlap means that even if the vote results differ, two SI could still appear in documents. The industry and regulatory texts have used "artificial intelligence" for decades, and the original term is also used in laboratory petitions to slow down. The renaming itself does not change model capabilities, electricity costs, or export controls, only changing news headlines and political slogans.
Who is buying, who is selling: what is being bought is the mobilization power to write technology as "supreme," and what is being sold is the semantics of "artificial, thus subject to restrictions." The event is driven by presidential voting, and funding does not shift with the three options. Beneficiaries are officials who want to write growth as a national revolution narrative, while those under pressure are laboratories still writing security papers using the original term. The name first becomes a slogan, and then the structure and czar fill in the blanks.
The vote has no legal effect; it remains unclear whether government procurement and paper titles will change with the renaming, as no executive orders have been seen.

First change the name, then change the structure, is a two-step process on the same day. "Artificial" emphasizes man-made, while "Superior," "Extreme," and "Supreme" emphasize surpassing humanity. The vote turns linguistics into a loyalty test: which one you choose reflects how non-negotiable this revolution should be.
The capital path remains the power grid and chips, not dictionaries. If the renaming enters military branches and czar offices, procurement documents may appear with SI/EI, misaligned with international standard literature. The abbreviation overlap indicates that the text has not been reviewed by a terminology committee. Laboratories need to slow down, while the White House seeks louder terms, translating conflict into a war of words, conveniently framing security debates as issues of style.
The benchmark is the political history of changing "global warming" to "climate change," and renaming social media platforms to rewrite public memory. The industry phase shifts from a competition of model capabilities to a competition of national rhetoric. Whoever controls the official abbreviations will have to explain one less adjective in hearings.
Structural judgments belong to the discourse layer of regulatory changes. The mechanism is: "artificial" means it can be shut down, while "supreme" means it should not be shut down. None of the three options include "accountable tools." The vote does not generate new computing power, only capital letters in next week's news. Once the revolution is named "Supreme," slowing down will seem even more disrespectful to the supreme.

Those who change the name first often haven't changed the power grid yet.
The vote with overlapping abbreviations measures loyalty, not terminology.
Writing technology as supreme will turn restrictions into great disrespect.
