According to AI TIMES, U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on September 29 directing federal government official documents and websites to use "super intelligence" (SI) instead of "AI." The White House also instructed that legislative text for a federal legal definition of SI be prepared within 60 days of the order taking effect. The move appears to be less about a simple name change than about rebuilding the administration's policy framework for current advanced technologies around a new term. However, because it does not immediately change existing laws, regulations, contracts, subsidies, or historical documents, the legal status of the technology will not change right away. For now, SI will be operated as covering the scope of AI under existing law, while officials later review whether to revise, expand, or replace the legal definition. In the end, the extent of the actual change is expected to depend on the legislative text establishing the new definition and Congress's response.
Perspective
The significance of this issue lies in the fact that what the government calls something, and how it calls it, can change the direction of policy and the language of regulation more than the technology itself. Even when the same subject is being referred to, formalizing a new name can shift the benchmarks for support, regulation, and public messaging, and the industry will also have to recalibrate its explanations and strategy accordingly. In particular, even if the legal system remains unchanged for now, a change in the policy framework first can alter the starting point for later institutional changes, suggesting that a terminology shift may be more than symbolic.
