GoKawiilTrump executive order replaces 'artificial intelligence' with 'Super Intelligence' in US government use
President Trump signed an executive order directing federal agencies to stop using the term 'artificial intelligence' in official websites, documents, and press releases, replacing it with 'Super Intelligence.' Trump said the change reflects his view that AI is powerful and brilliant rather than 'artificial,' and noted that Chinese President Xi Jinping also liked the term. Existing regulations and documents will not need to be revised, but future official communications must use the new terminology.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The rebranding does not change any substantive AI policy but could reshape how the government publicly frames the technology, potentially downplaying safety concerns Trump himself raised in an earlier UN speech about AI advancing too fast. Because the order targets language rather than regulation, its practical effect may be largely symbolic, though it could influence how agencies discuss and justify future AI-related actions. The move also follows a White House meeting with tech executives, suggesting industry input may have shaped the administration's framing.
- Trump signed an executive order requiring federal agencies to use 'Super Intelligence' instead of 'artificial intelligence.'
- Existing documents and regulations are exempt, but future official communications must adopt the new term.
- The change follows a White House meeting with tech CEOs and Trump's earlier UN remarks about AI safety fears.
