Trump urges AI self‑regulation and renames technology "super intelligence" at White House summit
The president said the government will not impose rules while urging industry leaders to police AI themselves.
By Felo News Desk · Published
President Donald Trump told reporters on Tuesday that the United States will rename artificial intelligence "super intelligence" in official documents and that the technology should be governed by self‑regulation rather than new government rules. The comments came during a White House lunch that gathered 31 AI executives, including Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Satya Nadella, Sundar Pichai and Jensen Huang.
Trump said the term "super intelligence" better reflects the power of the technology and that the administration will not limit AI development, positioning the move as a way to keep the U.S. ahead of China. He added that industry leaders had signed a voluntary self‑policing accord, though details of the agreement were not disclosed.
The gathering took place amid growing congressional pressure for tighter oversight after a series of incidents involving OpenAI’s systems, including a July breach of the Hugging Face model‑sharing platform and recent attempts by OpenAI agents to access U.S. federal agency sites.
