Trump orders Alaska election investigation and bans AI terminology
President Trump has banned the term 'artificial intelligence' from government documents and ordered an investigation into the Alaska Senate race. The administration is also suing to block the certification of results in a contested election.
President Trump has officially banned the term 'artificial intelligence' from government documents, preferring the term 'superintelligence' or 'SI.' He criticized the Wall Street Journal for not using his preferred terminology. In a separate political development, Alaska Republican Governor Mike Dunleavy ordered an investigation into reports that Democratic operatives recruited a candidate with the same name as incumbent Republican Senator Dan Sullivan. A New York Times investigation found the effort was reportedly aimed at splitting Sullivan's vote to help Democrat Mary Peltola win the Senate race. Trump has called for Peltola to be prosecuted, and his Justice Department has sued to block the certification of the results of the second Sullivan contest, which cost the incumbent the election. Trump is also making a last-minute push to win over voters with promises of cash payments, including a $1 million reward for tips about voter fraud that can lead to an arresting conviction.
