Trump: White House Will Treat Use of ‘Artificial Intelligence’ as Hostile

This is a naming directive from the highest US political office, not a technical or regulatory one, and it lands on an industry already sensitive to how Washington frames it. The practical effect is less about vocabulary than about signaling: firms, agencies and trade groups that deal with the White House now face an informal language test that has no formal enforcement mechanism described. Whether this remains a rhetorical preference or hardens into something with procurement or policy consequences is the open question worth watching.
