Trump orders federal agencies to replace 'AI' with 'Super Intelligence'
President Trump signed an executive order directing federal agencies to stop using the terms 'artificial intelligence' and 'AI' and instead use 'Super Intelligence' and 'SI' wherever legally possible. The order, issued after a White House lunch with AI industry leaders, argues that today's AI capabilities have outgrown the original terminology coined 70 years ago.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The rebrand comes as public wariness toward AI is rising, with polling cited showing most Americans prioritize AI safety over advancing frontier models and oppose new data centers in their communities. Renaming the technology could be an attempt to reshape public perception amid growing scrutiny, including Anthropic's own disclosure of existential risk in its IPO filing, though the order itself frames the change as merely reflecting AI's advanced capabilities rather than addressing safety concerns.
- Trump signed an order requiring federal agencies to use 'Super Intelligence'/'SI' instead of 'AI' wherever legally permitted.
- The order follows a White House meeting with AI industry leaders about the technology's risks and potential.
- Public opinion data cited shows strong majorities favor AI safety over rapid development and oppose local data center construction.
