Summary

President Donald Trump signed an executive order on September 29 titled 'Inaugurating The Era Of Super Intelligence.' To the maximum extent permitted by law, executive-branch agencies are directed to use the terms 'Super Intelligence' and 'SI' instead of 'Artificial Intelligence' and 'AI' in official correspondence, websites, reports, and other non-statutory documents, and the stated policy is not to acknowledge usage of the older terms. The order carries over the existing statutory definition of artificial intelligence, asks the Assistant to the President for Science and Technology to propose legislative language within 60 days, and does not require altering prior regulations or contracts.

Why it matters for our work

A change in official federal terminology can gradually reshape the vocabulary companies must use in government documents, procurement, and regulatory communication. It is best read as a policy signal rather than a change in the technology itself.
