Can ‘super intelligence’ and a non-binding safety pact solve AI’s image problem?
Trump ordered officials to say “super intelligence” and hosted CEOs for a non-binding safety pact.
President Donald Trump hosted frontier AI executives and issued an executive order directing U.S. officials to say “super intelligence” instead of “artificial intelligence.” Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei were among those who signed a voluntary “Joint Commitment on Frontier Responsibilities,” which Trump called morally rather than legally binding. On TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, hosts argued the rushed pact will not constrain development and mainly rebrands AI, while White House views of Anthropic remain split and the Defense Department stays critical. Trump also announced a Super Intelligence Force.
