The White House says the terminology change is intended to recognise the 'immense opportunity' presented by emerging technologies.

Trump orders federal agencies to replace ‘AI’ with ‘super intelligence’

US President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Tuesday, instructing federal agencies to swap the phrase "artificial intelligence," or "AI," for "super intelligence," or "SI," in all official communications, public statements, and policy documents, according to Anadolu Ajansi. The directive extends to every federal department and agency, mandating the use of "SI" and "SI" in all non-statutory materials.

The administration seeks to highlight the "immense opportunity" presented by the latest technological advancements, emphasizing the US's leadership position in this field. The White House views the US as the birthplace of AI and the world leader in super intelligence, having spearheaded its development and deployment for over seven decades.

The order also tasks the assistant to the president for Science and Technology with creating a new federal definition of "super intelligence" and "SI," as well as identifying any further executive actions needed to implement the proposed definition.
