President Donald Trump’s attempts to rebrand AI as “super intelligence” landed with a thud among Democrats on Capitol Hill on Wednesday. It’s a sign that the president might not have carte blanche authority on AI should they take back the majority next year.
The president is attempting to rebrand artificial intelligence under a new name as he has called the alarmism about the dangers around AI a “hoax.” Trump has also said “the only control or 'guardrails' that AI needs is a STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT, and the U.S.A. has that, in spades.”
