Several prominent Silicon Valley tech leaders, including Elon Musk and Satya Nadella, are adopting a major terminology shift for artificial intelligence following a push by United States President Donald Trump.
While the broader population continues to use the traditional term, several major figures in the technology sector are aligning with the administration’s preference to rebrand the technology as “super intelligence.”
Elon Musk and Marc Benioff Lead the Terminology Shift
Elon Musk was quick to adopt the change, making plans to rename SpaceXAI to SpaceXSI. The shift follows a declaration by the White House stating that anyone using the term artificial intelligence instead of the new designation is considered an adversary.
Shortly after the presidential announcement, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff stated on social media that the company would rename AIForce to SIForce.
