White House rebrands AI as 'super intelligence' as tech leaders pledge safety commitments

The White House this week brought together leading tech executives—including Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei—to formalize commitments around AI safety. President Trump signed both a pledge he characterized as "morally binding" and an executive order officially rebranding AI as "super intelligence".
