Fact Sheet: President Donald J. Trump Inaugurates The Era of Super Intelligence

Summary: This White House release announces an executive order directing federal agencies to replace the term "Artificial Intelligence" (AI) with "Super Intelligence" (SI) in official communications and policy documents. Order provisions: All executive branch departments and agencies must use "Super Intelligence" and "SI" in official correspondence, public communications, and non-statutory policy documents, discontinuing use of "Artificial Intelligence" or "AI." The Assistant to the President for Science and Technology is directed to propose a federal definition of "Super Intelligence" and identify any additional executive actions needed to implement it. Stated rationale: The release argues the term "Super Intelligence" better reflects the technology's capabilities than "Artificial Intelligence," which it says implies mere imitation of human intelligence rather than the expanded, transformative capabilities the administration associates with current development. It frames the U.S. as the originator and leader of AI/SI research over the past 70+ years. Related policy context cited: Elimination of Biden-era AI policies upon Trump's return to office. Over $5 billion announced for the "Genesis Mission," aimed at using the technology to accelerate scientific, medical, energy, and manufacturing breakthroughs.
