President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that he will officially ban the terms 'AI' and 'artificial intelligence' from federal documents, demanding the technology be called 'super intelligence' or 'SI' instead. He directed his frustration at the Wall Street Journal for refusing to adopt his preferred terminology.

Trump signed an executive order in September already directing the federal government to replace 'artificial intelligence' with 'super intelligence'.

Geoffrey Hinton, the 'Godfather of AI', says Trump understands 'almost nothing' about the technology, warning you 'can't make it smarter than people just by calling it smarter than people'.

Critics also note 'super intelligence' is a long-established technical term meaning AI that surpasses human capability — raising First Amendment questions about banning a word at all.
