Super intelligence - that's what President Donald Trump said the U.S. government will now call AI.
He made the announcement in a UN General Assembly, where AI was high on the agenda
"From this point forward, all of the United States documents, and hopefully the world's, will be changed to use the much more accurate term super, as opposed to artificial. So it's super intelligence."
Trump further said he wasn't going to - quote - 'stifle' the growth of AI, which he said will be bigger than the industrial revolution.
The world's leading AI executives warned the U.N. of the risks posed by the technology to humanity.
There are concerns increasingly powerful AI systems could soon improve themselves and slip beyond human control.
Anthropic's Dario Amodei was one of three industry leaders to address the 15-member council.
"I see two main categories of risk. The first is misuse of AI models, for example, misuse by bioterrorist to create biological weapons. The second risk is loss of control model capabilities, accelerating beyond developers ability to control them. These questions are global in scope and concern all of humanity."
New York state will require frontier AI companies to register beginning in November.
And they must further follow new transparency rules from January next year.
New York Attorney General Letitia James.
"The extraordinary promise of artificial intelligence is not an excuse for Big Tech to break the law, ignore serious safety risk, or put New Yorkers in danger."
Companies will have to publish safety protocols and report critical safety incidents within 72 hours.
And Meta unveiled new smart glasses without cameras.
That's as privacy concern grows about AI devices that can non-consensually record people.
It's Meta's big bet that the more than 2 billion people that use glasses every day would turn to these for listening to audio and podcasts - as well as use its Muse AI agent.
Yet some analysts believe removing the camera alone will not ease privacy concerns, as the glasses can still record audio.
