US President Donald Trump hosted a tech summit on AI, bringing together giants like Google, SpaceX and Nvidia. The meeting focused on a 'morally binding' pact to self-regulate AI safety, signed by tech leaders. Meanwhile, concerns over AI's potential risks to humanity were overshadowed by the president's push for data centre expansion, branding them as 'super intelligence factories'. Trump also ordered a change in terminology, moving from 'artificial intelligence' to 'Super Intelligence'.

The pact, while aiming for safety, may not address accountability concerns, according to critics. Zuckerberg framed it as a historic conversation, while Amodei saw it as a way to 'win safely'. However, the agreement's vague terms have left many experts unsatisfied. Trump's push for data centres, despite public opposition, suggests a pragmatic approach to AI's infrastructure.

The executive order on terminology marks a shift in language, reflecting Trump's view that AI should be seen as a new era. Critics argue that this emphasis on 'super' AI could dilute public concern over its potential risks. The meeting underscores the tension between self-regulation and government oversight in the rapidly evolving AI landscape.
