On 29 September, President Donald Trump addressed Google CEO Sundar Pichai at a White House summit titled “Super Intelligence”. Trump referred to Pichai as monster and said, “This guy is a monster, and nobody knows. What a great life, to be a monster and not have to go through this,” as he introduced the CEO to reporters and technology leaders. The president appeared to use the term as a compliment.
Pichai offered a brief response before Trump continued the exchange. The remarks were made in front of a gathering of leading technology executives.
During the event, Trump announced that the U.S. government would officially refer to artificial intelligence as Super Intelligence, or SI, and discussed the future of AI with the assembled leaders.
The summit brought together senior executives from major tech firms to discuss AI policy and the future of artificial intelligence.
