California Keeps 'Artificial Intelligence' Term Despite Trump's 'Superintelligence' Proposal
California Governor Gavin Newsom signed an executive order requiring state agencies to continue using the term "artificial intelligence" or "AI," rejecting President Donald Trump's directive to rename the technology "superintelligence." Newsom emphasized California's leadership in AI innovation and criticized the federal government for insufficient action on AI safety. His order mandates the use of traditional terminology unless legally required otherwise, highlighting differing approaches to AI terminology between state and federal levels.
