    Is Trump’s order even legally binding? He can write an order tomorrow declaring the Moon is now called America, doesn’t mean that has any legally binding power, right?

      EOs only have power over the Executive Branch. The president is essentially the CEO of the executive branch and EOs dictate how that branch should run.

      Nobody but some in the government are going to call it that. And probably even then.

      Also, it would only hold in the United States. It’s not like AI is confined to just our shores, and it’s also not like this doesn’t go back to 1955 as a term and a field of study.

      No one in the field is looking to donnie dumbass for guidance on what they use for terminology. He can furiously sign whatever the fuck he wants and it won’t make a bit of difference.
