Trump: “It's not artificial, it's actually amazing”

Donald Trump has called for artificial intelligence to be renamed “super intelligence”, arguing that the word artificial makes the technology sound fake.

Speaking at the United Nations General Assembly, the US President praised the extraordinary capabilities of AI while rejecting international efforts to establish global controls over its development.

His remarks come as governments and technology companies grapple with the pace of AI innovation, its economic potential and the growing debate surrounding regulation and oversight.

For enterprise technology leaders, the implications extend beyond political rhetoric.

As AI becomes increasingly embedded in business operations, data strategy and digital transformation, the balance between innovation, regulation and responsible deployment remains a critical consideration.

Trump's comments also underline the importance his administration places on maintaining American technological leadership in an increasingly competitive global AI landscape.

The question for business leaders: Can innovation continue at pace without a coordinated international approach to AI governance?
