The hosts of the All-In podcast used “super intelligence” 23 times on 2 October, but not once in their latest episode on 23 October, according to a Semafor analysis of episode transcripts. They said “AI” 29 times in that latest episode.
Why it mattersThe shift is a small but concrete measure of how quickly a politically favoured label can lose its shine, even among influential tech voices. Semafor notes that “super intelligence” never overtook “AI” in the hosts’ discussions. A term can have a powerful backer; apparently, it still has to survive the podcast.
Discuss: Should public officials try to rename AI, or should the terminology be left to the people who use and build the technology?
