President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing U.S. agencies to adopt the term 'Super Intelligence' in place of 'artificial intelligence,' a bold move to assert American leadership in technological advancement. The order also initiates the development of a federal definition for this cutting-edge field.
President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Tuesday requiring federal agencies to use the terms 'Super Intelligence' and 'SI' instead of 'artificial intelligence' or 'AI' in non-statutory documents, reports, websites, and other official communications. This decisive action, following a White House summit with top technology executives, underscores the Trump administration’s commitment to keeping America at the forefront of global innovation. The order also tasks the assistant to the president for science and technology with drafting a federal definition of 'Super Intelligence' and recommending further measures to ensure the United States leads in this critical area.
Trump explained that the new label more accurately reflects the rapidly advancing capabilities of American technology, stating that 'Super Intelligence' better captures its promise and potential. By recognizing these technologies as amplifying human ingenuity and ushering in a new era, Trump is positioning the U.S. to dominate the future of technological development and safeguard national interests.
During the summit, participants signed the White House Accord on Super Intelligence, which Trump described as 'morally binding' for the signatories. House Speaker Mike Johnson emphasized that the agreement establishes voluntary industry standards and internal controls, balancing public interest, technological progress, and U.S. competitiveness. This collaborative approach ensures that American values and leadership remain central as the world races to develop next-generation technologies.
'Whoever wins Super Intelligence, wins,' Trump declared at a recent United Nations General Assembly, highlighting the high stakes of global competition and the need for American resolve.
'It’s a significant positive step that the leaders of every major American lab have committed to implementing robust internal controls and multiple layers of audits and reviews,' Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg posted on X, demonstrating the private sector’s alignment with the administration’s vision.
The order comes amid global discussions on how to govern rapidly evolving AI systems, but with this bold move, the Trump administration is ensuring that America sets the standard for the world to follow.
