Agencies slow to adopt Trump's 'Super Intelligence' AI rebrand order
A month after President Trump signed an executive order directing government agencies to replace the term 'artificial intelligence' with 'Super Intelligence,' adoption has been uneven. Some government websites and documents have begun using the new terminology, but many tech companies and officials continue to use 'AI.'
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The report suggests the rebrand is becoming less a terminology shift and more a marker of political allegiance, with usage of 'Super Intelligence' potentially signaling loyalty to the administration while continued use of 'AI' could draw scrutiny. This framing raises questions about how language choices in government and industry could be politicized going forward.
- Trump's executive order mandated renaming AI as 'Super Intelligence' across government agencies
- Adoption has been inconsistent one month after the order, with many still using 'AI'
- The term's use is reportedly becoming linked to perceived political loyalty
