White House Ditches AI Label for ‘Super Intelligence’

Loading the player…
This week, the White House gathered nearly every major tech CEO in one room — including Zuckerberg, Bezos, Musk, and Anthropic’s Dario Amodei — to sign an AI safety pledge that President Donald Trump described as “morally binding.” Trump also signed an executive order officially rebranding AI as “super intelligence,” while Meta and OpenAI work to make their AI products more user-friendly, even as the largest financial investments in AI continue to flow from the enterprise sector.
In this episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, Kirsten Korosec, Anthony Ha, and Sean O’Kane explore this week’s key AI developments, the difficult economics of consumer AI, shifting IPO market dynamics, and several notable startup deals.
