Super Intelligence

The United States is spearheading efforts to become a global leader in Super Intelligence (SI), as outlined in its official website. The country's ambitious plans, spanning from the Genesis Mission to the next generation of American innovators, aim to set global standards and reap economic and security benefits. President Trump's administration is focused on ushering in a new golden age of innovation, human flourishing, and technological achievement for the American people.

Key initiatives include the clearance of barriers in January 2025 and advancements in frontier security in 2026. The nation's flagship SI-for-Science initiative unites 15 federal agencies, along with industry, academia, and the Department of Energy's National Labs, to tackle pressing challenges using super intelligence. Federal permitting processes for data centers, which power SI, are moving swiftly, enabling American capacity to be built on American soil.

America's full technology stack, including chips, models, and standards, is exported to allies and partners worldwide. A historic gathering has been convened to renew American Science for a New Golden Age of Discovery. Efforts are being made to bring SI literacy and training to K-12 students and educators, with a nationwide call to action and competition.

Students, educators, and K-12 schools are encouraged to become SI-ready and leverage powerful tools available today. Companies and organizations are also committing resources to SI education for young Americans.

A notable statement on the website reads, "The United Statesof America is theLeader in SI."
