AI No, Long Live SI: Trump Tests His Power to Change the Global Dictionary

If you thought the United Nations General Assembly was there to solve boring geopolitical problems, Donald Trump came to the United Nations on Tuesday to prove you wrong, delivering a lesson in global branding and high-tech. After spending half an hour explaining to world leaders why immigration is destroying the planet, he moved on to the real “main course”: Artificial Intelligence. Or rather, Super-Intelligence (SI), since the word “artificial” sounded too fake to him for something so… amazing.

With the unparalleled confidence of a man who has just discovered Silicon Valley, the American President decided to abolish “AI” by presidential decree, sending shivers down the spines of linguists and scientists everywhere. Then, after exposing “the same notorious gang” that invented climate change, Russia, and open borders, he reassured the public: the US is ahead of China, the internet is already outdated, and if the robots finally decide to rebel, there is no need to worry — the US Department of Justice has already taken it upon itself to stop them from coughing.

Let's see what happened.

US President Donald John Trump spoke at the United Nations on Tuesday. And after spending half an hour condemning immigration, he changed the subject to add that “the United States also categorically rejects any attempt to create a global plan to control artificial intelligence, which is being talked about so much now.”

But then he added: “which will henceforth be officially called ‘super-intelligence’ — we are changing the name, because using the word ‘artificial’ makes intelligence look fake. It makes it sound fake, when it is not. It is, in fact… amazing. But we must be careful — in fact, it is the exact opposite of what its name suggests. From now on, all documents in the United States — and I hope the rest of the world — will be amended to use the much more accurate term ‘super-’ instead of ‘artificial.’ So it is super-intelligence.”

Trump: In other words, welcome to the new world of super-intelligence — SI. SI. Let's see if it takes off. It sounds a lot better. It's a lot better and a lot more accurate. Let's see if I have any power. Maybe I do, maybe I don't. We'll find out very soon. Super-intelligence.

Every major new technology brings challenges, and superintelligence is no exception. Yet the very same people who said we would all be dead in 12 years because of “global warming” — a name that later became “climate change” because the planet was cooling instead of warming and no one was dying — are the same people who are now saying that artificial intelligence will kill us all. That robots will attack us and that everything will end in total destruction — this is the same group of people. This is the group that came up with the “Russia, Russia, Russia” hoax, the “Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine” hoax. Climate change, open borders.

Whoever wins in AI — you have to remember this, and now I say: whoever wins in SI (super intelligence), whoever wins in super intelligence — wins. That's the team that will prevail. And we are now way ahead of China — and everyone else — and we will maintain that lead. We will maintain it very … very strong and very strong. I'm not going to stop the development of something that will be bigger than the Industrial Revolution. Many say it's bigger than the Industrial Revolution or even the Internet itself.

We will be very careful – and that is why we have the Department of Justice, which we have already used on this issue, and in a very dynamic way. Everything has developed very well and very quickly. There are also other law enforcement authorities that will intervene to put restrictions in place, if necessary.

However, we will encourage the development of superintelligence. We will enhance it, not limit it. We will monitor it closely, through the Department of Justice. The United States leads the world in superintelligence and will continue to do so, safely and responsibly.
