U.S. President Trump posted on the social media platform "Truth Social" on the 27th, stating that he would soon "formally ban" the use of the term "artificial intelligence (AI)" in "all relevant documents" and other occasions, on the grounds that the term is "inaccurate." However, the post did not specify how the ban would be implemented. In the post, he also singled out the U.S. newspaper The Wall Street Journal for criticism, saying it still uses the "very bad and inaccurate" term "artificial intelligence." The Wall Street Journal previously published an article supporting continued use of the name "artificial intelligence," saying that Trump's demand to change it to "superintelligence" is a "big mistake." At present, U.S. media still mainly use the term "artificial intelligence." On September 29, Trump signed an executive order changing "artificial intelligence" to "superintelligence." On October 4, he announced on social media the formation of a "Superintelligence Working Group" and appointed a leadership team including Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton. Trump said that the mission of the working group is to coordinate the work of the federal government and "ensure that the United States continues to maintain global leadership in the field of superintelligence."
