AI is now SI: Trump makes 'Super Intelligence' official alongside top AI bosses

The Trump administration has issued an executive order instructing federal agencies to replace the term "artificial intelligence" with "super intelligence" in all official communications. President Donald Trump signed the directive on Tuesday, according to Anadolu Ajansi. The order applies to government departments and agencies, mandating the use of "super intelligence" and its abbreviation "SI" in public communications, policy documents, and other non-statutory materials.

The administration aims to recognize the US's leadership position in super intelligence, a technology that has been developed and deployed in the country for over 70 years. The order also directs the assistant to the president for Science and Technology to develop a proposed federal definition of "super intelligence" and "SI," reflecting the continuously advancing technological frontier.

This definition will guide any additional executive actions needed to implement the proposed change. The White House views the terminology shift as a way to acknowledge the immense opportunities presented by emerging technologies.
