US diplomats instructed to use ‘super intelligence’ instead of ‘artificial intelligence’
The US State Department has instructed diplomats in its bureau dealing with international organisations to use “super intelligence” rather than “artificial intelligence” in communications. The change follows President Donald Trump’s reported effort to rebrand the technology.
The US State Department has ordered diplomats in its international organisations bureau to use the term “super intelligence” instead of “artificial intelligence” in official communications, ABC News US reported. The instruction applies to communications produced by the bureau, according to the supplied material. It follows President Donald Trump’s attempt to rebrand the technology using the alternative term.
The available report does not explain whether the directive applies across the entire State Department or only to the bureau named in the instruction. It also does not provide examples of documents affected by the change. No reason beyond Trump’s reported rebranding effort was given for the terminology order.
The source material does not say whether the department has changed its policies on artificial-intelligence technology itself, as opposed to the language used to describe it. The instruction therefore concerns official wording in communications from the specified bureau. Further details about its duration, enforcement or reaction were not supplied.
