Trump’s Latest Obsession: Those Who Say AI Instead of ‘Superintelligence’ Will Be Enemies

Written by: Adel Khelifi on October 8, 2026

This is the latest trick up the sleeve of the American president, Donald Trump: Washington will regard as an ENEMY any entity, party, or person who continues to say “Artificial Intelligence” (AI) instead of the newly accepted and more accurate term “Super Intelligence” (SI). This absurdity surfaced this Thursday, October 8. Since the “Master of the World” has decided that AI is not good enough for him, the whole planet will be forced to follow him. Well, that is what the deluded in Washington say…

“The White House regards as ENEMY anyone who uses the term ‘Artificial Intelligence’ instead of the newly widely accepted and more accurate term ‘Super Intelligence,’” dared to post – he dares everything – the American president on his Truth Social network.

He had unleashed his discovery last September before the United Nations General Assembly, arguing that “Super Intelligence” “sounded much better.” He promptly signed a decree officially endorsing this new designation across all government services. Note that this obligation did not initially apply to the private sector, but since Trump counts powerful friends there — toadies is the most apt word — some have already adopted the Trumpian terminology…

For example, the group of Mark Zuckerberg, Meta, has used it in communications. Elon Musk, known to have ties with Trump, also approves and uses the expression “Super Intelligence” in his posts on X.

Some Americans may bow to their president, but on a global scale this is a battle he will lose, as with all his battles otherwise: his war in Iran, his standoff with China, his tariffs, etc., etc.
