A 'Fake Horse'? Jensen Huang Defends 'Superintelligence'

What did you think?

Emily Chang spots a tension in Jensen Huang's language: he has helped demystify artificial intelligence as code, so why embrace a word like "superintelligence"?

His answer, in a Bloomberg Originals excerpt from The Circuit, starts with the other half of AI's name. Huang argues that "artificial" suggests something fake, even though making something doesn't make it less useful or capable. A car, by his analogy, could be called a fake horse. We simply don't describe it that way.

"Is it superintelligence? Absolutely," he says, before adding a qualification: "It's not super at everything that we do, but it's super at many things that we do." Researching and writing are among the abilities he points to.

The Short drew about 18,000 views in eight hours, an unusually brisk start for the channel's short-form interviews. Across Bloomberg Originals, daily views were also running nearly six times their usual level, a much broader rise than this excerpt alone could explain.

The exchange begins with Chang asking how Huang handles differences with President Donald Trump. He describes his role as providing information rather than agreeing or disagreeing. Chang then turns that discussion toward the language of AI, and whether "super" clarifies its capabilities better than "artificial."
