Trump warns anyone who won't say 'Super Intelligence' will be treated as an 'enemy' by the White House
My take: This week Trump raised the stakes: he warned that anyone who refuses to say "Super Intelligence" instead of "artificial intelligence" will be seen as an "ENEMY" by the White House, without explaining what would happen to that person or company. AFP reported that experts doubt the rename will achieve its goal: a Quinnipiac poll found only 25% approve of how Trump is handling AI, and a University of Chicago marketing professor called the idea that a rebrand could shift public opinion pure "wishful thinking."
What catches my attention here isn't the name itself, it's the signal that vocabulary is turning into a loyalty test instead of a technical question. For anyone using AI at work, this matters because the order only binds federal agencies: your AI tool, your workflow and what you can build with it don't change at all, no matter which word the government uses in its statements.
I keep the same lens as always: AI makes you more efficient, not more intelligent, and no decree about what to call it changes what the tool actually does for you or for whoever uses it well. If you work with AI daily, are you letting the naming fight distract you, or are you staying focused on getting real value out of the tool you already have?
