Trump says he will ban the term "artificial intelligence"
President Trump posted on Truth Social on Tuesday that "AI" and "Artificial Intelligence" will be banned "in all relevant documents, and everything else," and pressed the Wall Street Journal to adopt "Super Intelligence" instead B. It extends Executive Order 14434 of September 29, which already told the executive branch to stop acknowledging the term B. He did not say how a ban would reach anyone outside the federal government, and nothing in the record so far implements one. Federal agencies and contractors are the people who will have to rewrite paperwork. SourcesBBB
