Media Tip Sheet: AI and the Future of Human Capability


September 23, 2026

WASHINGTON (September 23, 2026) – At the United Nations General Assembly, President Trump announced that artificial intelligence (AI) will be renamed “super intelligence” in all U.S. government documents. His comments come amid growing concerns about advanced AI systems, including warnings from a former Anthropic researcher about the potential damage AI could cause to humanity. This week, the United Nations is also examining the broader impact of AI on human development, work, education and society.

For more analysis on what AI could mean for society and human capability, please consider Faith Bradley, teaching assistant professor in the field of information systems at the George Washington University School of Business in Washington, D.C. She earned her Ph.D. from the University of Arkansas. Dr. Bradley's research covers government and business policy, with a specialized emphasis on policy and decision making and data privacy. She also explores how ideology, personal preferences, and skills influence the adoption of new technologies.
