Trump Orders U.S. Government to Replace “AI” With “Super Intelligence”
· 50-word read
In 50 words
U.S. President Donald Trump has signed an executive order directing federal executive agencies to use “Super Intelligence” & “SI” instead of “Artificial Intelligence” & “AI” in official communications & non-statutory documents. The White House says the terminology better reflects rapidly advancing capabilities & the technology’s potential across science, medicine and industry.
Why it matters
This is primarily a federal terminology change, not a technical redefinition of AI. For now, the order explicitly defines “Super Intelligence” using the existing statutory definition of artificial intelligence, meaning U.S. laws and existing regulations are not automatically rewritten.
What's next
Within 60 days, the White House science and technology adviser must propose legislative language for a federal definition of “Super Intelligence,” including whether existing statutory references to AI should eventually be changed.
Key dates
- 29 Sept 2026: Trump signs executive order
- Federal agencies instructed to adopt “Super Intelligence/SI
- Major AI companies also sign a separate voluntary White House safety accord
- Next 60 days: Proposed federal SI definition and potential legislative changes.
