New Proposal to Rename Artificial Intelligence

The journal Communications of the ACM reported another proposal to change the name “artificial intelligence,” but the available excerpt of the news contains no details.

✨ What happened

The scientific publication Communications of the ACM published an article titled “Another Proposal to Rename AI.” The title suggests this is not the first proposal to change the name of the artificial intelligence field.

The news feed we took this information from contains only the headline and a link to the full text. So we do not know which name the authors propose, who they are, or what arguments they make.

📌 Why people are debating this

Some researchers believe the word “intelligence” creates a misleading impression. Programs like chatbots do not think or understand the world the way people do, but their answers often sound convincing. As a result, the name can mislead people.
