South Korea's response to the Super Intelligence terminology push

A South Korean Ministry of Science and ICT official told The Korea Times that the government has not considered replacing the term artificial intelligence with Super Intelligence in its own terminology. The October 8 report followed questions prompted by a minister’s mention of the US terminology campaign during a National Assembly audit. The official’s response concerns naming, not a decision to slow domestic AI research. The newspaper says the ministry remains focused on sovereign AI capabilities and strategic uses. The reported position is separate from the US order directing federal agencies to use the new label; it does not change that US policy.
