Trump Orders US Government to Refer to AI as 'Super Intelligence'
A new executive order directs official policy documents and communications to drop the term 'artificial intelligence' in favor of 'Super Intelligence'.

The US executive branch will no longer officially use the term "artificial intelligence" in its communications, following a new executive order signed by President Donald Trump that directs official policy websites, documents and press releases to refer instead to "Super Intelligence."
Trump explained his preference for the new terminology by describing "super" as, in his words, "the best word of all," and calling it "the simplest" choice for describing the technology.
The order marks a notable shift in how the federal government will publicly frame and discuss artificial intelligence systems and policy, though it is not yet clear whether the terminology change will extend beyond government communications to broader policy substance.
Renaming initiatives of this kind can carry symbolic weight, potentially signaling a change in how officials want the public to perceive the scale or capability of the technologies being discussed and regulated.
Reaction to the order is expected from across the technology and policy sectors, given that artificial intelligence remains the standard term used by researchers, companies and international bodies working on related governance efforts.
