The “superintelligence” proposal raised by U.S. President Donald Trump from the United Nations General Assembly podium failed to win support from various AI models.
Trump argued that the word “artificial” made the technology appear “fake.” He therefore proposed using “superintelligence” instead of “artificial intelligence” in U.S. documents and, if possible, in documents worldwide.
How did the models assess the proposal?
ChatGPT, developed by OpenAI, said “superintelligence” was not expected to completely replace artificial intelligence. The model noted that the term could describe a more advanced category of AI if systems with superhuman general cognitive capacity emerged.
Grok, developed by Elon Musk’s AI company xAI, also considered it unlikely that the term “artificial intelligence” would be replaced by “superintelligence” in general usage.
Anthropic’s Claude model said artificial intelligence was not expected to disappear from general use, but noted that the concept of “superintelligence” could be used in the official language of the U.S. federal government.
Google’s Gemini model said artificial intelligence was not expected to disappear completely. Gemini assessed that “superintelligence” could gain prominence in technology and political literature to describe a more advanced and specific stage.
DeepSeek, which originated in China, emphasized that the two expressions have different technical meanings in computer science and the technology sector. The model said a political statement could not change established technical terminology.
Türkiye called for an international legal framework
In discussions on regulating AI, Türkiye argued that international joint steps should be taken.
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said in his address to the United Nations General Assembly that controlling AI was becoming increasingly difficult. Erdoğan called for the creation of a common international legal framework for the field.
