Poll finds most people prefer 'AI' over rebranded term 'SI'
Original: BREAKING: Despite attempt at rebranding to fool people, polling says 9% prefer "SI" over "AI", with 53% preferring "AI"
A new poll cited by tech commentator Lauren Weinstein shows that only 9% of respondents prefer the term 'SI' (synthetic intelligence) over 'AI' (artificial intelligence), while 53% still favour 'AI'. Weinstein argues the rebranding effort is an attempt to mislead the public, and the numbers suggest it has largely failed to catch on, with the remainder expressing no opinion.
Why now: The poll suggests an effort to rebrand AI terminology is not resonating with the public.
