Has Donald Trump just rebranded AI? This week, the US President declared that “Artificial Intelligence” sounds too fake and should be renamed “Super Intelligence” instead.

Whether “SI” catches on remains to be seen, but as the world debates what to call the technology, a much bigger question is emerging: who gets to control it?

In this episode of AI Decoded we examine a pivotal week for artificial intelligence as Donald Trump meets Chinese President Xi Jinping, with AI high on the agenda.

Joining the panel are Parmy Olson, Bloomberg technology columnist and author of Supremacy, and Winston Ma, former executive at China Investment Corporation, alongside AI Decoded co-host Priya Lakhani. Together they explore the intensifying AI rivalry between the world’s two superpowers, competing visions for regulating the technology, and whether international cooperation is still possible.
