US government’s new order replaces ‘artificial intelligence’ with ‘Super Intelligence’; federal agencies directed to use new term

US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order directing federal agencies to stop using “artificial intelligence” and instead use the term “Super Intelligence”, or “SI”, in their official communications. The move comes as the Trump administration continues to push for rapid AI development while concerns grow over AI safety, job losses and autonomous systems acting without direct human control. The order says the new term better reflects what advanced AI systems can do and the opportunities they could create. Trump had already started using “Super Intelligence” in public remarks, including at the United Nations last week.
