President Donald Trump has sought to popularize the term "super intelligence" in reference to artificial intelligence, even as polling shows his standing on AI-related issues has weakened, according to CNBC.
Asked whether he was concerned that his support for AI development and data center expansion could hurt Republicans in the upcoming midterm election, Trump shrugged off the question, the outlet reported.
The push to rebrand advanced AI systems comes as the administration continues to back rapid buildout of data center infrastructure, a policy that has drawn both investment interest and local opposition in some communities over land use, energy consumption and environmental concerns.
Polling on the issue suggests a growing share of voters have concerns about the pace of AI expansion and its economic and social effects, though specific figures were not detailed in the initial report.
The White House has not announced any change in policy direction on AI or data centers in response to the polling.
