Trump advocates for a name change of artificial intelligence, expressing his disliking towards anything artificial.
In a surprising turn of events, President Donald Trump has expressed his dislike for the term "artificial intelligence" during a speech at the Washington DC AI Summit. The President, known for his straightforward approach, made it clear that he prefers a change in the name, considering the word "artificial" to be misleading.
During his speech, Trump stated, "I don't like anything that's artificial, so can we straighten that out, please? We should change the name. I actually mean that". He emphasized that the intelligence behind AI is not artificial but brilliant.
However, the President did not propose any specific alternative to the term "artificial intelligence." Instead, his suggestion seems to be more about rejecting the current term and requesting a change.
The President's stance on AI has remained ambiguous, with no clear comments on his stance towards artificial general intelligence or the much-mooted eventual arrival of "superintelligence."
Meanwhile, in a separate event, President Trump made an appearance at the Super Bowl earlier this year, but no comments regarding the event were made about the name. Interestingly, Trump became the first US president to attend the Super Bowl.
It's worth noting that the term "artificial intelligence" is commonly used for products with dubious AI features, such as a pillow that rolls your head around when you snore. This could potentially contribute to the President's dislike for the term, as he might perceive it as overhyped or misleading.
While alternative terms for artificial intelligence, such as machine learning, neural networks, thinking computers, and alternative-to-humans-that-also-scares-the-crap-out-of-them, have been suggested by commentators, these were not part of Trump’s proposed renaming.
As the world of AI continues to evolve, it will be interesting to see how President Trump's proposed name change, if implemented, could impact the industry and public perception.
- The President's dislike for the term "artificial intelligence" could potentially extend to various technologies, such as a game console that uses advanced AI for its play mechanics.
- In the realm of art, artists using AI to create digital artwork might find it challenging to win acclaim from President Trump, given his reservations about the term "artificial intelligence."
- As the future seasons unfold, we may see the development of a new term for artificial intelligence, one that aligns with President Trump's sentiments, revising the name of popular PS games like 'AI: The Somnium Files.'
