Trump thinks the name of AI is too tacky and suggests renaming it.

On Wednesday (July 23) local time, US President Trump spoke at an artificial intelligence summit held in Washington, D.C.

Although the audience was filled with enthusiastic tech tycoons, Trump admitted at the meeting that he couldn't stand the name "Artificial Intelligence" (AI) and suggested changing it.

"The whole world is talking about artificial intelligence," Trump said. "But the word 'Artificial,' I can't stand it. I don't like this name." Just as the audience stared at him in silence, Trump suggested simply changing the name.

"I don't like anything with 'artificial' in it. Can we solve this problem? We should change the name." Some audience members laughed out loud, but Trump continued, "I'm serious."

"I don't like the word 'artificial' because it's not artificial at all. It's genius, a pure work of genius," he said. He preferred to call it "Genius Intelligence" rather than "Artificial Intelligence."

In recent years, Trump has been very fond of using the word "genius." When he won the election last year, he called Elon Musk a "super genius." Even after their relationship soured, he still described Musk as "half genius, half childish."

Last week, Trump signed the "Guiding and Establishing the United States Stablecoin National Innovation Act" at the White House, abbreviated as the "Genius Act" - obviously deliberately.

In 2018, Trump said in an unusual tweet, "I went from a very successful businessman to a TV star, and then (on my first try) to the President of the United States."

"I think all these prove that I'm not just smart, but a genius... and a stable genius!" After that, he described himself as "A Very Stable Genius" several times.

At that time, Michael Wolff questioned in his new book "Fire and Fury" whether Trump's mental state and IQ were "stable." In response, Trump posted a series of tweets to fight back.

The White House Releases the "Genius Intelligence Action Plan"

Earlier in the day, the White House released the "Artificial Intelligence Action Plan," aiming to consolidate the United States' leading position in the global AI field through a series of policy adjustments and industrial promotion.

The plan focuses on three core pillars: accelerating AI innovation, strengthening the construction of domestic AI infrastructure, and promoting US hardware and software to become the global standard platform for AI innovation.

The White House specifically emphasized in the document that all large language models purchased by federal government agencies must be "objective and free from top - down ideological influence."

Trump also mentioned in his latest speech, "We need to get rid of 'wokeism'!" "From now on, the US government will only use AI that upholds 'truth.'"

Trump admitted the potential risks of artificial intelligence but emphasized that the United States must not lose the competition in this technology to other countries.

"This technology has both good and bad sides. It can bring progress and also disaster, but the great power of AI should not be a reason for us to give up this new field."

During the summit, Trump signed two executive orders. He also joked that he wouldn't use an automatic signature machine to sign - subtly mocking former President Biden.

Before leaving, Trump said to the tech executives in the audience, "Good luck to you, because the game has just begun, and we will win."
