Trump calls anyone who says "artificial intelligence" rather than "super intelligence" an "enemy"

On Truth Social, the American president hardened his terminology campaign: the White House would consider as adversaries those who stick to the consecrated expression.

Donald Trump published a message on October 8, 2026 on Truth Social claiming that the White House considers anyone who uses the term "artificial intelligence" instead of "super intelligence" to be the "enemy", a term he presents as more accurate and widely adopted.

The president has been campaigning for several weeks for this change in vocabulary, which has already given its name to the "Super Intelligence Force", the AI cell created in early October. The message does not specify the concrete scope of this instruction for federal agencies or possible consequences for those who do not comply with it.

No reaction from technology companies or public officials had been reported at the time of publication.
