Donald Trump delivers a wide-ranging speech touching on artificial intelligence, what he calls “Super Intelligence,” U.S. leadership in advanced technology, global competition, freedom, national strength, and the future of the world.
In the speech, Trump proposes replacing the term “Artificial Intelligence” (AI) with “Super Intelligence” (SI), arguing that the word “artificial” makes intelligence sound fake even though the technology is real and increasingly powerful. He says he hopes U.S. government documents, and eventually documents around the world, will adopt the term “Super Intelligence.”
Trump also discusses the growing importance of AI and the challenges that come with the rapid development of advanced technology. He argues that the United States should continue encouraging technological growth while also monitoring potential risks through law enforcement and government institutions. He describes Super Intelligence as a technology that could have an impact even greater than the Industrial Revolution or the internet.

Another major theme of the speech is global technological competition. Trump emphasizes the importance of maintaining U.S. leadership in advanced AI and says the United States is currently ahead of China and other countries. He stresses that technological development should continue while being handled in what he describes as a safe and responsible manner.
The speech then moves beyond technology into broader themes of American history, freedom, national courage, and responsibility. Trump refers to George Washington and the American Revolutionary period, highlighting the challenges faced by the early United States and the importance of defending principles of freedom.
Trump concludes by calling for nations to move forward with strength and unity, reject fear and doubt, and work toward greater safety, prosperity, economic growth, peace, and justice around the world.
