Call it AI, call it Super Intelligence, only 2% of consumers are buying it
What's happening
This week the White House convened major tech CEOs including Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, and Anthropic's Dario Amodei to sign an AI safety pledge described as "morally binding," while President Donald Trump signed an executive order rebranding artificial intelligence as "super intelligence." Coverage notes the White House framed the move as a response to AI safety debates and reports that only 2% of consumers are currently buying into the technology under that label. The administration also announced a new Super Intelligence Force and pushed a non-binding safety pact as part of the broader effort to reshape AI's public image.
Why it's trending
