At a high‑profile luncheon on Tuesday, President Trump sat down with Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Sundar Pichai, Jensen Huang and Dario Amodei to unveil the plan to rename AI as "Super Intelligence"—a move he said would mark a new era in technology governance. Trump emphasized that the renaming would be backed by an executive order signed at 5 p.m. that same day.
The president also outlined a partnership model for data‑center hubs, urging tech firms to collaborate with local communities, offering financial support for schools and infrastructure projects to offset the environmental and economic impact of new facilities.
During the meeting, Zuckerberg said the White House Accord aims to build public trust, stating, "We want to give the American people confidence that the technology works in the way we intended." Amodei echoed the need for coordinated development, adding, "If we do this right, we can win safely."
Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton underscored the national‑security dimension, noting that "being a leader in AI is the most important thing for national security." He called for a unified approach to ensure the technology is used for defense as well as civilian benefit.
The executive order, scheduled for signing at 5 p.m., will codify the name change and outline safeguards for research, deployment and cross‑sector collaboration, setting a precedent for how the U.S. will handle emerging super‑intelligent systems in the coming decade.
