Trump Proposes Renaming Artificial Intelligence, Announces AI Force and Czar Role

President Donald Trump announced on September 19, 2026, plans to rename "artificial intelligence" and to establish an "AI Force" with a new government czar, doubling down on his pro-growth, anti-regulation stance on the technology. Trump argued that the term "artificial intelligence" is "inaccurate and very ineloquent" and proposed three alternatives through a public poll on Truth Social and X: Superior Intelligence (SI), Extreme Intelligence (EI), and Supreme Intelligence (SI). Within hours, the poll drew over 93,000 votes, with Superior Intelligence leading at 39.4 percent, followed by Supreme Intelligence at 30.7 percent and Extreme Intelligence at 28.8 percent.
