Trump Rejects Global AI Oversight and Directs Federal Rebrand to "Superintelligence"

President Donald Trump declared that the United States "totally rejects" international efforts to establish a global governance framework for artificial intelligence, characterizing multinational oversight proposals as restrictive "globalist schemes" during his address at the 81st United Nations General Assembly.
Trump announced that official federal documentation will formally replace the term "artificial intelligence" with "superintelligence" (SI), arguing that the word "artificial" incorrectly implies that the technology is fake or diminished in real-world capability. Framing the AI race as a decisive geopolitical struggle with China where "whoever wins SI, wins," Trump emphasized that Washington will avoid regulatory guardrails or safety treaties that could stifle domestic infrastructure and compute expansion, opting instead to leave any domestic oversight to federal law enforcement agencies.
