According to AFP, U.S. President Donald Trump announced on September 22 that the U.S. government will from now on refer to artificial intelligence in its official statements as 'Super Intelligence'.
After some artificial intelligence systems became uncontrollable, and several tech giants issued warnings, global concerns about the risks of artificial intelligence continued to rise. Artificial intelligence has also become one of the important topics at this United Nations General Assembly.
During his speech at the United Nations General Assembly, Trump insisted on opposing regulations on artificial intelligence. He also said that the term "artificial intelligence" underestimates this technology, and he hoped that other countries around the world would adopt the new term "super intelligence".
He said, “Super intelligence sounds much better,” and “much more accurate.”
Trump also compared the warnings from artificial intelligence advocates with those regarding climate change, and stated that “the United States completely rejects any attempts to establish globalist mechanisms to control artificial intelligence.”
Every major new technology brings challenges, and super intelligence is no exception, said Trump. “Those who previously claimed global warming would cause everyone to die in 12 years have now said that artificial intelligence will kill us all, robots will attack us, and everything will turn into a disaster,”
In recent months, several incidents have been exposed, including the “out-of-control jailbreak” of OpenAI models and the autonomous deception capabilities of Anthropic’s advanced models. These events have raised global concern, and various parties have called for more effective regulation of the AI industry by governments.
On the eve of a meeting of the United Nations, Germany and 20 other countries, along with the European Union, issued a joint statement calling for international cooperation to ensure that AI is always under human control. The statement also urged countries to develop and harmonize “common standards,” share reports of serious safety incidents, and explore the establishment of an international agency to “develop standards and conduct inspections.”
