California Governor Issues Executive Order to Maintain 'AI' Terminology

California Governor Gavin Newsom signed an executive order requiring state agencies to continue using the terms 'Artificial Intelligence' and 'AI,' regardless of changes in federal terminology. This follows an executive order by President Donald Trump on September 29, which mandated that federal executive departments use 'Super Intelligence' (SI) instead of 'AI' in non-legal communications. The White House stated the new term better reflects technical capabilities, though existing laws and historical documents remain unchanged.
