Super Intelligence task force member on Trump declaring anyone who uses the term A.I. to be ‘The Enemy’ 2:02

CNN and The Independent report that President Donald Trump has declared anyone who says "Artificial Intelligence" an enemy, insisting the White House prefers "Super Intelligence." The Independent says he posted the warning Thursday on Truth Social. CNN's listing shows Scott Kupor, vice chair of Trump's Super Intelligence Force, joining Jake Tapper on The Lead, but gives no detail of what was said, according to CNN · The Independent.

The Independent adds that the post followed an executive order, signed a little over a week earlier after a lunch with industry figures including Elon Musk, Sundar Pichai and Dario Amodei, telling federal agencies to adopt the new name. Trump can set government usage but cannot compel Americans to follow, it notes, and a month ago he ordered Lake Ontario renamed "Lake America." The outlet says the companies it contacted did not respond, though the White House pointed to Musk and NVIDIA's Jensen Huang as users of the phrase.

The Independent ties the push to souring opinion: a Quinnipiac survey of 1,032 registered voters found 25 percent approve of his handling of the technology and 58 percent disapprove, while Fox News polling showed 37 percent favorable toward it and 60 percent unfavorable.
