Trump and China clash over what to call artificial intelligence

Original: What’s in a name? Trump calls it ‘SI’. China calls it ‘human-made’

US President Donald Trump is reported to favour the term 'SI' — artificial simulation of intelligence, in French usage — while China describes the technology as 'human-made intelligence' in its official translations. The naming dispute has drawn attention as a signal of how Washington and Beijing frame the same technology differently, with commentators weighing in on the political and diplomatic undertones of the language gap.

Why now: The differing terminology reflects US-China rivalry over who shapes the narrative around artificial intelligence.
