What Happened
New Term Replaces Artificial Intelligence in Official Documents
In a surprise move, President Donald Trump has ordered all US government agencies to refer to artificial intelligence as ‘super intelligence’ or SI in official documents. The announcement, made at the United Nations General Assembly, aims to rebrand AI as a more accurate and less ‘fake-sounding’ term. Trump has been a vocal supporter of the AI industry, overseeing its expansion at the Pentagon and engaging in a legal battle with Anthropic, a frontier lab, over its attempts to limit military use of its AI technology. The move may create confusion, as ‘super intelligence’ is already used to describe a specific type of AI that surpasses human intelligence. This development was first reported by Breaking Defense.
