According to media reports on July 24th， U.S. President Donald Trump， speaking at an AI summit in Washington D.C. on July 23rd， expressed his dislike for the term “Artificial Intelligence” (AI) and suggested renaming it “Genius Intelligence.”
The term “Artificial，” as defined by the Oxford English Dictionary， can mean “made by humans” but also carries connotations of “insincere or affected.” This dual meaning appears to be a key reason behind Trump’s discomfort with the existing terminology.
During his address， Trump stated his aversion to the word “artificial” within AI， saying， “I can’t stand anything artificial. I don’t even like the name artificial things.” His preference clearly leans towards authenticity and natural qualities， a sentiment that extends to his proposed renaming of AI.
He further elaborated on his proposal， stating， “AI is genius. It’s pure genius. I suggest we rename it Genius Intelligence.” Trump emphasized that this suggestion was made with seriousness， indicating a genuine belief in its merit.
This initiative comes on the heels of reports that the U.S. government is set to sign a series of executive orders related to the AI industry. These orders are expected to cover a broad range of areas， including measures to support data centers and semiconductor manufacturing， improve the national power grid， and address perceived “ideological biases” in AI large language models.
In a related development， just one week prior， President Trump， known for his penchant for Coca-Cola， revealed he was in discussions with the company regarding a potential switch from high-fructose corn syrup to sugar as the sweetener in their beverages， calling it a “better” option.
Indeed， Coca-Cola announced on July 22nd that it would be introducing a new cola product in the U.S. market this fall， sweetened with “American Sugar.” This move aligns with a growing trend of consumer interest in more natural or traditional ingredients.
