Manorama Online reported that during a lunch meeting with technology executives at the White House, President Trump announced that the administration was officially renaming the technology.

‘‘നമ്മൾ ഇന്ന് അഞ്ചു മണിക്ക് ആർട്ടിഫിഷ്യൽ ഇന്റലിജൻസിന്റെ പേരു മാറ്റുന്നതിനുള്ള ഔദ്യോഗിക രേഖയിൽ ഒപ്പുവയ്ക്കാൻ പോവുകയാണ്. കാരണം ഇത് ആർട്ടിഫിഷ്യൽ (കൃത്രിമം) അല്ല എന്ന കാര്യത്തിൽ നമ്മളെല്ലാവരും യോജിക്കുന്നു. നമ്മൾ ഇതിനെ ഔദ്യോഗികമായി സൂപ്പർ ഇന്റലിജൻസ് എന്ന് പുനർനാമകരണം ചെയ്യുകയാണ്.’’
