President Donald Trump is pushing to rename artificial intelligence as "super intelligence" through executive orders, threatening to call anyone who uses the old term the enemy. The move has drawn criticism from AI experts and political opponents who call it ego driven. The term super intelligence already exists in the field to describe next generation AI systems.
OpenAI created an AI capable of solving long standing math proof problems, a development experts describe as one of the most consequential days in math history. Concerns are growing that the technology is advancing faster than even AI labs can manage, with fears that young mathematicians may stop joining the field. Cybersecurity risks have also been raised.
South Korean President Lee Jae Myung said there are signs AI was used in recent bank cyberattacks. The security report also uncovered a poem hidden botnet and a Shai Hulud style worm in Tensorlake's npm SDK. Separately, Nvidia DCGM exporters were found to have leaked data from 12,000 GPUs.
Leaders from Microsoft and OpenAI met in Washington, D.C. on April 12 to discuss trust in AI as a competitive advantage. A Bentley University and Gallup survey of over 1,000 Americans found 61% trust AI to make decisions affecting their lives, with younger Americans expressing more trust than older ones.
A Ping Identity survey of 11,000 consumers across 12 countries found growing hesitation about AI acting independently. Only 12% fully trust organizations to manage identity data, down from 17% in 2025. Consumers are especially reluctant to give AI access to financial accounts and email. Meanwhile, universities are expanding cybersecurity courses to address risks from autonomous AI agents, with new undergraduate courses, graduate degrees, and executive certificates launching across the country.
Alabama schools are using QuantHub to teach students AI and data literacy. Dr. Desmond Parker, a biology teacher at Leeds High School, helped bring the platform into his classroom. The Leeds City Schools district used QuantHub to build its summer school curriculum for middle school students, offering certificates aligned with state course standards. At WikiConference North America 2026 in Edmonton, Wikimedia project leaders discussed how generative AI has reduced traffic to knowledge sites and threatened human contributions, while also finding productive uses like spotting vulnerabilities and verifying sources.
Google's Nano Banana 2.1 update was covered in a UX Roundup that also explored how scrolling affects memory and user prompt habits. The piece noted that average users do not really exist. A separate article challenged readers to spot AI generated photos, finding that even experienced testers struggle to distinguish AI images from real ones.

Trump pushes to rename AI as super intelligence
President Donald Trump wants the term artificial intelligence changed to super intelligence. He signed an executive order requiring government agencies to use the new name. Trump threatened to call anyone who uses the old term the enemy. The move has drawn criticism from both AI experts and political opponents.
Trump's push to rename AI draws criticism
Trump declared that using the term artificial intelligence makes someone the enemy. He wants the public and government to adopt super intelligence instead. Critics say the change is ego driven and makes Republicans look absurd. The term super intelligence already refers to next generation AI systems in the field.
Trump calls AI term holdouts the enemy
Donald Trump said anyone who keeps using artificial intelligence instead of super intelligence will be treated as the enemy. The demand is part of a broader rebranding effort. The term super intelligence is already used in the field to describe future advanced AI systems. Trump has pushed the change through executive orders.
AI suspected in South Korean bank cyberattacks
South Korean President Lee Jae Myung said there are signs AI was used in recent bank cyberattacks. The security report also covered a poem hidden botnet and a Shai Hulud style worm in Tensorlake's npm SDK. Raheim Hamilton was sentenced to 40 years for his role in Empire Market. Nvidia DCGM exporters leaked data from 12,000 GPUs.
UX Roundup covers AI analysis and scrolling habits
The UX Roundup discusses how Erik the Red discovered Greenland. It also covers AI thematic analysis and Google's Nano Banana 2.1 update. Other topics include how scrolling affects memory, user prompt habits, and usability testing with no findings. The piece notes that average users do not really exist.
AI solves math proofs raising concerns about the future of mathematics
OpenAI created an AI that can solve long-standing math proof problems. Experts worry this advancement is happening too fast even for AI labs themselves. Some fear young mathematicians will stop joining the field. There are also concerns about cybersecurity risks. The event was described as one of the most consequential days in math history.
Can you spot AI-generated photos? Test your detective skills
This article challenges readers to identify photos created by artificial intelligence. Even experienced testers sometimes struggle to tell AI images from real ones. AI-generated images have become increasingly sophisticated and harder to detect. The piece invites readers to try their skills at spotting fakes.
Microsoft and OpenAI discuss trust in AI as competitive advantage
Leaders from Microsoft and OpenAI met in Washington, D.C. on April 12 to discuss trust in AI. A survey by Bentley University and Gallup of over 1,000 Americans found that 61% trust AI to make decisions affecting their lives. Younger Americans trust AI more than older Americans. Panelists discussed how trust can drive innovation and give companies an edge.
Universities add AI security courses as companies deploy autonomous agents
Universities across the United States are expanding cybersecurity courses to address risks from autonomous AI agents. Companies are deploying these agents faster than security staff can be trained. Schools are launching new undergraduate courses, graduate degrees, and executive certificates. The focus is on risk management, threat modeling, and model defense. National workforce coalitions and federal defense initiatives are funding these programs.
Consumers hesitant as AI shifts from helping to acting independently
A Ping Identity survey of 11,000 consumers across 12 countries found growing hesitation about AI acting on people's behalf. Only 12% of consumers fully trust organizations to manage their identity data, down from 17% in 2025. Consumers are especially reluctant to give AI access to financial accounts and email. People want clarity on what AI can do, what it can access, and who remains in control.
Alabama schools use QuantHub AI to boost classroom learning
Alabama schools are using QuantHub to teach students about artificial intelligence and data literacy. Dr. Desmond Parker, a biology teacher at Leeds High School, helped bring the platform into his classroom. The Leeds City Schools district used QuantHub to build its summer school curriculum for middle school students. The program gives students certificates and aligns with state course standards.
Wikimedia conference explores AI risks and opportunities in 2026
WikiConference North America 2026 in Edmonton discussed how AI affects Wikimedia projects. Generative AI has reduced traffic to knowledge sites and threatens human contributions. The Wikimedia Foundation has replaced some human roles and communities are creating new policies. However, conference participants also found productive uses for AI, including spotting vulnerabilities and verifying sources.
