President Trump has signed an executive order that requires federal government agencies to use the terms "Super Intelligence" or "SI" when referring to artificial intelligence in official communications. According to Bloomberg, Trump believes that AI suffers from a branding problem.

The rebranding of AI was a priority for Trump, who had initially considered several alternative names before settling on "Super Intelligence". At the United Nations, he announced that official US documents would use this term going forward, as reported by The Hill.

Trump's support for AI and data centers was also questioned in relation to the upcoming midterm election, with the President shrugging off concerns that it could hurt Republicans, as reported by CNBC, CNBC World, and CNBC Technology.
