The White House has inaugurated Super Intelligence, with President Trump ordering federal agencies to adopt the new terminology nationwide today. Under the executive order, government departments must use “Super Intelligence” and “SI” instead of “Artificial Intelligence” and “AI” across communications.
Trump signed the order September 29, describing frontier technologies as increasingly capable systems that amplify human ingenuity and unlock possibilities. According to the White House, the terminology change reflects advances extending beyond earlier expectations surrounding artificial intelligence technologies and systems.
Federal agencies must apply the new terms across correspondence, websites, reports, policy documents, public communications, and other non-statutory materials governmentwide. However, previously issued regulations, presidential actions, contracts, grants, and historical documents do not require changes under the directive still today.
The order currently defines Super Intelligence and SI using the existing federal statutory definition for artificial intelligence until further action. Within 60 days, the administration must propose legislative language establishing a federal definition that potentially expands the existing statutory framework.
Meanwhile, Trump promotes Super Intelligence as a transformative technological frontier capable of influencing science, medicine, creativity, and numerous economic sectors. The announcement follows a White House gathering where technology executives discussed safety commitments, oversight, cybersecurity, and responsible development of systems.
Companies including Google, Meta, OpenAI, Anthropic, and Nvidia participated in discussions surrounding a voluntary framework for managing emerging technological risks. Trump argued that the new terminology better captures capabilities and opportunities associated with rapidly advancing technologies across multiple economic sectors.
The White House initiative marks significant federal terminology changes while broader debates continue over regulation, safety, and technological development internationally.
