President Donald Trump, addressing the 81st regular session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA81) on September 22, 2026, local time, in New York, United States, spoke for about 37 minutes and proposed that the US government switch to using the term Super Intelligence instead of Artificial Intelligence in government documents. Trump argued that the word Artificial makes the technology sound unreal, even though AI has high potential and could have a greater impact on the world than the industrial revolution that came before. He also took the position that the United States should not let strict regulations become an obstacle to AI development, so as to preserve its ability to compete globally. However, Trump stated that the US government will continue to monitor the AI industry, and that the US Department of Justice can intervene if it finds it necessary. At the same time, Trump opposed efforts to create a global AI regulatory framework and reiterated the goal of maintaining AI leadership amid competition with China.
