Donald Trump Says Xi Jinping Backed ‘Super Intelligence’ Name for Artificial Intelligence
Trump called his meeting with Xi 'very productive,' saying big developments are on the way. He also claimed Xi and almost everyone else agreed that Artificial Intelligence is 'poorly and inaccurately named,' suggesting the term 'Super Intelligence' would be a far more fitting description.
US President Donald Trump has described his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping as a highly productive one for both the United States and China, saying on his social media platform Truth Social that significant developments could be expected in the aftermath of the discussion. Trump did not elaborate on specific outcomes but indicated that the tone of the meeting had been positive on both sides.
In the same post, Trump turned his attention to artificial intelligence, a subject that has increasingly dominated discussions between the two countries as both nations compete to lead in the field. He said that Xi, like almost everyone else present, appeared to favour a different name for the technology, describing the existing term Artificial Intelligence as 'poorly and inaccurately named.' Trump suggested that a more fitting label would be 'Super Intelligence,' a term he has used before to refer to advanced AI systems.

Trump went on to add that the group present at the meeting had reached agreement on this point as well, framing the renaming as a shared view rather than one held only by him. He punctuated the remark by calling the proposed name 'SUPER,' in keeping with his characteristic style of writing on the platform.

The comments come at a time when AI has become one of the more complicated points of discussion between Washington and Beijing, alongside ongoing disputes over trade, semiconductors and technology access. While Trump has previously said he wants to leave AI development 'exactly where it is' and has resisted calls for a global regulatory framework, Xi has taken a different position in recent exchanges, calling for AI development to remain under human control.
Trump's latest remarks did not touch on regulation or policy specifics, focusing instead on the tone of the meeting and the shared enthusiasm around renaming the technology. The post adds to a growing list of statements from Trump on artificial intelligence, a subject he has repeatedly framed as central to America's technological and economic standing on the global stage.
No further details on the substance of the AI related discussions between the two leaders have been made public at this stage.
