Trump orders US government to call AI ‘Super Intelligence’

The Verge

What changed

President Donald Trump has signed an executive order directing US government agencies to replace “artificial intelligence” with “Super Intelligence” across official policy websites, policy documents and press releases.

The change affects the government’s language. It does not, on the information available, change AI technology, technical standards, programmes or funding classifications.

Why it matters

For companies and builders dealing with US agencies, terminology is not decoration. It appears in policy documents, procurement language and public guidance. A mandated label can ripple through the documents people use to understand what the government is buying, regulating or prioritising.

The practical effect depends on how broadly agencies apply the order. Its full legal scope, implementation deadline and enforcement mechanism have not been provided. Until those details emerge, “Super Intelligence” is best understood as a government communications requirement, not evidence of a new technical category or a change in what AI systems can do.
