Trump Signs Executive Order Mandating Federal Agencies Rename AI to 'Super Intelligence'

U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on September 29 requiring all federal agencies to replace the term 'Artificial Intelligence' with 'Super Intelligence' (SI) in official documents and communications. The administration frames the change as a way to emphasize the technology's power, while critics, including Senator Mark Warner, argue it avoids addressing necessary regulatory safeguards. A separate 'White House Accord on Super Intelligence' was signed by major tech firms including Google, Anthropic, Meta, OpenAI, Nvidia, and Elon Musk, though officials describe it as a statement of principles rather than a legally binding agreement. Recent polling from Quinnipiac University indicates that only 25% of respondents approve of Trump's handling of AI policy.
