Donald Trump is asking his fans to come up with a new name for artificial intelligence as he continues to promote the technology amid doomsday concerns.

he → sign → concerns
The move follows a lengthy Truth Social post by the President that likened concerns surrounding the environmental impact of data centers to climate change and a slew of other hot-button issues.

that → follow → issues
Following that screed, the President posted a poll containing three options to potentially rename the technology: Superior Intelligence, Extreme Intelligence and Supreme Intelligence.
asserted
President → follow → technology
'Many people think that the words “Artificial Intelligence” are inaccurate, and very ineloquent, relative to AI, or Artificial Intelligence,' Trump wrote.

Trump → think → AI
The President called the potential names 'a far more elegant and accurate description of this new phenomena.'

President → call → phenomena
He also termed the development of AI 'an ever growing "Revolution" as he asked his followers to vote on the name change.

The President posted a poll containing three options to potentially rename the technology: Superior Intelligence, Extreme Intelligence and Supreme Intelligence

asserted
He → unveil → development
The President offered limited details on how the AI Force would operate, but compared it to Space Force.

Trump launched Space Force in 2019 as the sixth branch of the US military.

It is unclear if the AI Force would also fall under the Department of Defense.

Trump concluded his post by encouraging only 'high IQ' individuals to apply to the czar position and calling AI the 'next Industrial Revolution.'

Trump's doubling down on AI comes just a day after CNN revealed that an intelligence report generated with AI falsely identified material on a Chinese ship in the Middle East.

report → come → East
Multiple sources told the outlet that a US special operations analyst used an AI chatbot to analyze the Chinese ship's manifest and incorrectly concluded that the vessel was shipping components of a nuclear weapons program.
asserted
vessel → tell → program
Almost immediately, military planners began drafting plans to intercept the Chinese ship.
asserted
planners → begin → ship
Planes were already airborne as soldiers prepared.
asserted
soldiers → prepare → ?
However, just before the mission was set to launch, officials reviewed the intelligence assessment again and found it had been created with the help of AI.
asserted
it → set → AI
They soon realized that the tech had misidentified the material the ship was carrying.
asserted
ship → realize → material
One source called the AI report 'entirely false.'
asserted
source → call → report
It also, they added, 'almost started a war' with China, as any military action against the ship could have sparked a conflict between the two superpowers.

action → add → superpowers
Trump said the new 'AI Force' will help the US to develop the industry faster than China.

The story quickly caught fire and prompted Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei to say the company needed to slow down and warned that safeguards were necessary to prevent AI agents from taking over the internet within the next year.
asserted
safeguards → outline → year
Across the country, construction has plowed through rural neighborhoods to make way for data centers, which are massive facilities that store, process and manage digital data.
