美国总统特朗普近日再次就人工智能领域的术语使用问题表达不满，原因是媒体机构、科技企业以及公众仍普遍采用“AI（Artificial Intelligence，人工智能）”这一传统简称，而没有使用他此前提出的新名称“SI（Super Intelligence，超级智能）”。
报道称，特朗普在其社交平台Truth Social上公开批评《华尔街日报》等媒体继续使用“AI”这一说法。他认为，“人工智能”这一名称已经无法准确反映当前技术的发展水平，而“超级智能”更能体现相关系统不断增强的能力和潜力。
事实上，特朗普政府数周前已经正式推动这一名称调整。此前，特朗普曾公开征集替代“AI”的新名称选项，包括“Superior Intelligence（卓越智能）”“Extreme Intelligence（极致智能）”以及“Supreme Intelligence（至高智能）”等多个候选方案。经过一系列讨论后，政府最终确定采用“Super Intelligence（超级智能）”作为官方称谓。
随后，特朗普签署行政命令，要求联邦政府机构在官方文件、政策公告、公开沟通以及各类政府文档中使用“Super Intelligence”或其缩写“SI”，以替代“Artificial Intelligence”和“AI”。白宫方面表示，现代智能系统的发展已经远超“人工智能”这一术语诞生时所描述的范围，因此需要更符合现实的新名称。
白宫进一步解释称，当前的先进智能系统不仅能够模仿部分人类能力，还在创造新的工具、增强生产力并扩展创造能力。从这一角度来看，“超级智能”比“人工智能”更能体现技术发展的方向。
不过，这一命名改革目前尚未获得科技行业广泛响应。包括OpenAI、Anthropic等主要人工智能企业在内，依然继续使用“AI”作为产品宣传、技术文件和行业交流中的标准术语，没有迹象显示这些公司计划进行全面更名。
特朗普的重要盟友、企业家埃隆·马斯克则对这一做法表示支持。他认为，“Super Intelligence”在某种程度上确实比“Artificial Intelligence”更贴近未来的发展愿景，并曾公开表示相关概念值得推广。
尽管白宫已经在官方层面推动术语调整，但从实际情况来看，“AI”仍是全球范围内最普遍、最容易被公众理解的名称。无论是研究机构、媒体报道还是普通消费者，在讨论相关技术时依然习惯使用这一简称。
分析人士指出，特朗普此次推动“AI”更名，与其过去推动其他地理和政策名称调整的做法存在相似之处。虽然联邦政府能够在自身体系内统一用词，但要让整个科技产业、全球媒体以及数以亿计的用户改变已经沿用数十年的“AI”称呼，仍然面临不小挑战。
目前看来，“超级智能（SI）”已经成为美国联邦政府文件中的正式术语之一，但在产业界和公众层面，“AI”仍牢牢占据主导地位。特朗普对此持续表达不满，也反映出官方命名与社会实际使用之间仍存在明显差距。

The President of the United States, Trump, has recently again expressed his dissatisfaction with the use of terms in the field of artificial intelligence, because the traditional acronym “AI” (Artificial Intelligence, Artificial Intelligence) is still widely used by media institutions, technological enterprises and the general public, instead of using his new name “SI” (Super Intelligence, SuperIntelligence), which he proposed earlier.
According to reports, Trump publicly criticized the continued use of “AI” by media such as the Wall Street Journal on his social platform Truth Social. In his view, the name “artificial intelligence” no longer accurately reflected the current level of technological development, while “super intelligence” better reflected the growing capacity and potential of the system.
In fact, a few weeks ago, the Trump Government officially promoted this renaming. Previously, Trump had publicly solicited new name options to replace “AI”, including a number of candidate options such as “Superior Intelligence” “Extreme Intelligence” and “Supreme Intelligence”. After a series of discussions, the Government finalized the official designation “SuperIntelligence”.
Subsequently, Trump signed an executive order requiring federal government agencies to use “Super Intelligence” or its abbreviation “SI” in official documents, policy announcements, public communications and various government documents to replace “Artificial Inteligence” and “AI”. The White House has indicated that the development of modern intelligence systems has gone far beyond what was described when the term “artificial intelligence” was born and that a new name is needed that is more realistic.
The White House further explained that current state-of-the-art smart systems not only mimic some of human capabilities, but also create new tools, enhance productivity and expand creative capabilities. From this point of view, “super-intelligence” is more reflective of the direction of technological development than “intellectual intelligence”.
However, this naming reform has not yet received a broad response from the science and technology industry. The continued use of “AI” as a standard term for product promotion, technical documentation and industry exchanges, including major artificial intelligence enterprises such as Open AI and Anthropic, has no indication that these companies are planning a full name change.
The important ally of Trump, the entrepreneur, Elon Mask, supported this approach. In his view, “Super Inteligence” was, to some extent, closer to the vision of development in the future than “Artificial Inteligence” and had publicly stated that the concept was worth promoting.
Although the White House has promoted terminological adjustments at the official level, in practice “AI” remains the most popular and easily understood name on a global scale. This abbreviation is still used in discussions on relevant technologies, whether in research institutions, media coverage or in general consumers.
The analysts pointed out that Trump's promotion of “AI” change of name was similar to its past promotion of other geographical and policy name adjustments. While the federal government is able to use the same language within its own system, it still faces the challenge of changing the name “AI” that has been used for decades by the entire technology industry, the global media and hundreds of millions of users.
It now appears that “Supersmart (SI)” has become one of the official terms in United States federal government documents, but at the industry and public levels, “AI” remains firmly dominant. The persistent dissatisfaction expressed by Trump also reflects a clear gap between official naming and actual use by society.
