White House orders federal agencies to rename "AI" as "Super Intelligence"
Announced: 2026-09-29
- On September 29, President Trump signed an executive order directing federal agencies to replace "Artificial Intelligence/AI" with "Super Intelligence/SI" in official documents and communications.
- The order also directs the President's science and technology advisor to draft a federal definition of the term within 60 days.
Why it matters: "SI" terminology could spread through federal correspondence and procurement documents, so companies doing government AI business should track the shift. The order carries no force over the private sector or Congress.
