AI Oops, SI: How Trump Reacted After Elon Musk Said ‘Artificial Intelligence’ Instead Of ‘Super Intelligence I’ At White House Event
Just hours after US President Donald Trump directed his administration to replace the term ” artificial intelligence” with ” super intelligence”, Elon Musk had a brief vocabulary slip at the White House, saying ” AI” before correcting himself to ” SI”.
The moment, captured on video and now circulating online, came during a White House event on Tuesday where Trump hosted Musk and several other prominent technology executives and signed an AI accord aimed at strengthening self-regulation within the industry.
While interacting with reporters after the signing, Trump noticed Musk standing some distance away and called out to him.
Musk, responding, mistakenly said ” AI” before quickly catching himself and switching to ” SI” — the new terminology ordered by Trump.
The brief exchange prompted laughter from Trump, who appeared to brush off Musk’s slip with a quick ” Thank you” and a tap on his arm.
The video of the exchange has since gone viral on social media.
The White House event saw Trump sign a voluntary AI accord that rejects limits on US development and pushes self-regulation in the tech industry, while also rejecting AI partnership with China.
The accord was signed in the presence of top tech executives including Musk, as Trump launched America.gov amid early glitches.
