President Trump recently changed “Artificial Intelligence” to “Super Intelligence” for American documents, a change that most ignored as another silly statement but it’s not so simple.
The word ‘artificial’ has negative implications as being created rather than natural, whereas ‘Super’ is positive and conjures thoughts of Superheroes, basically powerful and good.
The switch in description from negative and concerning, to positive and beneficial is not a change that most support or accept and we must think about the politics behind it.
