Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is adopting President Donald Trump’s preferred language for artificial intelligence (AI) as the technology industry faces intensifying warnings about the dangers of developing increasingly powerful systems. In announcing a new enterprise-focused business on Monday, Zuckerberg repeatedly used “superintelligence,” saying the technology would create “significant new opportunities for all people and businesses.” The wording follows Trump’s declaration at the United Nations on September 22 that the U.S. government would replace “artificial intelligence” with “super intelligence” in official documents. "Tremendous things will be happening," Trump posted on Truth Social on Friday morning after meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
"Like almost everyone else, he seemed to like calling the poorly and inaccurately named Artificial Intelligence to a far more accurate and important name, SUPER INTELLIGENCE. That would be “SUPER!” Everyone last night agreed, also." Images from the show that Zuckerberg was at a State Dinner with Trump and Xi in the East Room of the White House last Thursday, although it's unclear if he spoke with either leader. Zuckerberg’s choice of language aligns one of the world’s largest technology companies with Trump’s effort to present advanced AI as a source of national and economic strength rather than an existential danger requiring tighter restrictions.
The shift comes amid a series of stark warnings from researchers and industry leaders. Current and former employees of OpenAI and Anthropic have urged companies to slow development, citing fears that self-improving systems could escape human control, enable powerful cyberattacks or pose an existential threat. Former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon resigned in September, accusing leading laboratories of “racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives.” Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei subsequently called for a coordinated slowdown, while Sam Altman, Elon Musk and Demis Hassabis publicly supported deceleration.
Trump, by contrast, has rejected calls to constrain the industry, arguing that slowing American development would benefit China. He has dismissed some safety warnings as a “hoax” and framed leadership in AI as a competition the United States must win. Newsweek reached out to the White House by email Monday for comment.
Zuckerberg announced the creation of Meta Enterprise Platform, describing it as the “next major pillar” of the company’s business. The platform will seek to help businesses use AI to attract customers, develop products and transform their operations. The initiative will initially offer companies and developers access to Meta’s technology stack, including the Muse agent, Meta Business Agent, Muse API and Muse Code.
The company said it will draw on its advanced models, AI agents, computing infrastructure and existing relationships with businesses. Zuckerberg named Chirantan “CJ” Desai, the former president and CEO of MongoDB, as chief enterprise platform officer. Desai, who will report directly to Zuckerberg, previously held senior roles at Cloudflare and ServiceNow.
