Contributing writer Aldgra Fredly has reported that President Donald Trump spoke at the U.N. General Assembly in New York, where he reminded everyone “there is no global government and vowed there will be no global taxes while he is president.”

The American president went on to alert the international listeners of the new technological wonder being called “artificial intelligence” or simply “AI.” He prefers we call this new phenomenon “super intelligence,” suggesting the term “artificial intelligence” makes the technology sound fake. 

He declared the new technology “is not fake!” Rather, “It’s actually amazing. We have to be careful.” He informed the technocrats that, “From this point forward, all of the United States’ documents, and hopefully the world’s, will be changed to use the much more accurate term ‘super’ as opposed to ‘artificial.’ So it’s super intelligence.” 

Some view such “super intelligence” as fulfilling prophecies in the Jewish prophetic Book of Daniel. God clearly indicated that a full understanding of the book would be sealed away until a future time of notable expansion in knowledge, travel and enlightenment. Daniel 12:4 states: “But you, Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.”

Today, a mix of scientific researchers, tech entrepreneurs, and policy influencers is shaping super intelligent development. They drive the innovation, commercialization, and the ethical frameworks that will determine whether this “artificial/super intelligence” turns out to be “awesome” or “awful.” 

Whatever term we use, it suggests a prophetic insight into the future, indicating a time when understanding and information will proliferate, particularly in the context of worldly and spiritual knowledge and ability. American lawmakers are debating whether to regulate this technology through laws and government agencies or let it “self-regulate” to protect innovation and support commercial development.

Anthropic’s CEO recently wrote urging industry-wide cooperation to slow progress in favor of stronger safety measures. That same day, leaders of OpenAI, SpaceXAI, and Google’s DeepMind each publicly agreed with the Anthropic proposal. 

Some critics fear, “AI will quickly spin out of human control and could kill us all if we allow [its] safety and protocol … be controlled by private self-serving agreements between the world’s most powerful ‘for-profit’ technology companies.”

This increase in knowledge is not just about accumulating or rapidly disseminating information, but also about understanding and applying it wisely, with natural and supernatural discernment. During “the time of the end,” it will become even more relevant.
