Trump Rebrands AI as "Super Intelligence"
Trump renames AI by September 30?
Polymarket prices this 74% no. The market is more confident than the current reporting.
Donald Trump has declared his intention to rename artificial intelligence to "Super Intelligence" in official U.S. government documents. Speaking at the United Nations, Trump stated the change was prompted by his belief that the term "artificial" sounds "fake." This move, if formalized by an executive order or proclamation by September 30, would direct federal agencies to adopt the new designation. While Trump's announcement at the U.N. garnered significant media attention, the crowd's probability on the market resolving to "No" — that he will not sign such an order by the deadline — stands at 74%, suggesting skepticism about the immediate follow-through on his public remarks.
Background
The push to rename artificial intelligence stems from Trump's past engagement with the concept, including a social media poll he launched proposing new names for the technology. This initiative reflects a broader pattern of the former president leveraging public opinion and direct communication channels to influence policy and public perception. The market specifically focuses on whether Trump will formalize this renaming through a qualifying presidential action, such as an executive order, by the end of September, thereby replacing "artificial intelligence" as the federal government's official designation. The market has seen fluctuating odds over the tracking period, indicating ongoing uncertainty about the outcome.
The precedent
